I dont care what xbox 2 has in it. I will guarantee this right now.
PS3 will sell more systems than the xbox BY ALOT. playstation fans are loyal. i bought a ps1 and a ps2. i like how sony makes there systems (some not huge box that sounds like a space shuttle launch) i like the games that come out for the system. to me its no contest. People named some games that made xbox big.
Halo
knights of the old republic
morrowind.
frankly, i can get all three of these games on the pc. And the games on the PC have 500X better graphics then the xbox.

The reason the games on the PC have "500x" better graphics than Xbox is due to the video card of the system the shots were taken from. With cards like the 5950 ultra, 9800 xt, x800, and FX 6800 ultra coming out, of course they're gonna look better than on Xbox.
Some other GREAT games on Xbox that stand out:
Ninja Gaiden (can't argue with that one)
Rainbow Six 3 (named the best xbox live game by many game critics... a similar version is available on PC)
Ghost Recon(s) (Available on PS2 and PC as well, but the online play was by far the best on the Xbox...a very good team-based tactical shooter)
PS2 outsells the shit out of the Xbox...I cannot argue with that...but I can argue why. PS2 came out an entire year + before the Xbox, which, like rampant said, gained fans loyalty. They already had great success with PSOne, and when the PS2 launched, EVERYONE (yes, even me) was like "HOLY SHIT!!". In that year alone, PS2 sold millions and millions of systems and games.
So, when the Xbox launched, everyone was very skeptic about it. The design was large and bulky, and had only a few games to show off its graphical capabilities. So when the Xbox dropped, the PS2 fans' loyalty stayed true, and the Xbox more or less bombed in the first year or so. However, more and more great games keep coming out on the Xbox that are grabbing gamers of all kinds' attention, with MANY amazing titles coming out later this year. Add the recent price drop to $149 (which Sony QUICKLY did as well), and you get more and more people buying an Xbox.
When Xbox 2 and PS3 drop, I think it will be very interesting to see. Microsoft has promised the new Xbox will be much smaller with a more appealing design, and that the graphical power and multimedia capabilities of it will be astonishing. Oh yeah, Square Enix (makers of Final Fantasy series, which contributed highly to PS2 sales) are very impressed with the new Xbox. Seeing Final Fantasy games on the next Xbox is a very real possibility...AND PS2 does not own exclusive rights to GTA anymore. Xbox 2 vs PS3 will be very interesting indeed....
On The Edge of Insanity:
My brother has a PS2, I have to say that I don't feel any urge to buy any of the consoles at the moment really. Since SEGA have stopped consoles there is a big hole in the market. Neither the PS2, X Box or Gamecube has the right mix of standout games to make me wanna buy any of them. I say SEGA need to make another console, because I for one would buy that within a second of it being launched.

its not really that im aloyal fan. if a better system came out i would have bought it, but none did.
my friend had an xbox (RIP). i played it at his house like 5 times. i hated it. the controller (even the small one) was horrific. Thats why now his xbox sits inside a tv cabinet, never to be turned on again. The big one was aweful and the small one was just as bad. I hated the design of it. I also hated the design of the xbox even more. it was big, loud, ugly.
and no the pc isnt only better looking with a top of the line vid card. i have a mid range card, and playing kotor and morrowind on my pc looks so much better then the xbox
smerlus:
but the stand out games for the xbox comes out months before they come out for pc... (except morrowind)
i had already beat Kotor, GTA VC (ps2) and Halo months before they even showed up on pc...let alone i would have missed ninja gaiden and a few other games that the xbox has, that no other system has
