If you go to IGN, you'll find that none of the games that came out on XBox got better reviews than their PS2 version. As a matter of fact, most of them got lower than the PS2 versions, showing that the PS2 actually has a better quality game. Recent examples are SSX3, Tony Hawk Underground, the GTA Double Pack, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and various other games. I'm not saying that XBox sucks...there's games out there that have did better on XBox (Soul Calibur 2), but not "most."

If you can compare the same game on both systems and the PS2 version is better most of the time, then saying that XBox has better quality than PS2 doesn't make sense.

Both systems are great, but the PS2 simply has a better library for the average user. If you want to do the "OS installation" and "music ripping," then XBox is it, but the average player doesn't want to do that. They want a huge selection of games that are as good if not better than the same game on other systems, and the PS2 has that over the other two systems.

As I said in a previous post, this can all be solved by simply playing the good games on whichever system you buy. But you gave what you wanted in a system, and the PS2 simply fits it.
