Graphic Whores: The Xbox Gen.

Outside of RPGS I believe the XBox has better support right now imho.
And the real, real good games are going multiplatform. The only two games by Xmas that I really, really want on the XBox are Suikoden IV and possibly GTA: San Andreas, but since I have a PS2 I'll be getting Suikoden IV and I'll just wait for San Andreas to get ported to the XBox. Other games will keep my attention till it gets the port.

The XBox atm gets the best graphics, sound and hardware features. Not to mention some of the games that go multiplatform get added online features, so I end up holding off on the PS2 versions and wait for them to come out for the XBox.

The XBox controller is a different story. It's far from perfect, but you know what? I got a magicbox, and I can use the PS2 on all XBox fighting games. So there goes my controller problem.

I also own all three systems, and I plan on owning all three of the next systems over time as well. I'll be getting the XBox 2 on launch, and then PS3 when it drops to $200. The next Nintendo system I'm gonna wait to hit $100 or less after learning my lessons with Shiggy's gamecube.

XBox 4 the win!
 
c'mon man, we're all graphics whores. Otherwise we'd still have the Atari VCS as the centerpiece of the entertainment system. Let's face it: all the games we play are really the same as they ever were, only the skins have been changed to excite the innocent.

if we all didn't, or shouldn't, care about improved graphics, then why would anyone buy anything new? Their would never be any new game systems, new computers, new cars, new refrigerators, etc. The industry would collapse and we'd never have any new re-packaged games to play. This CANNOT happen before X-Men Legends comes out so stop promoting your anti-capitalist agenda , you, you , COMMIE BASTARD !!
 
I have both an Xbox and PS2, but I have twice as many games for Xbox than PS2. That's because when I purchase a multiplatform title, which are the vast majority of games, I purchase it for the Xbox. I can't think of any PS2 version (except for maybe MGS2 - Substance) that looks better, loads faster, and is more framerate stable than it's Xbox counterpart. The limitations of the PS2 versus other systems DO affect gameplay for some titles - Sonic Heroes, for example, where the frame rate stutters horribly. Aliasing issues are also a problem when Dreamcast versions look better than their PS2 ports (Tennis 2K2). If programmers didn't have to use the vastly underpowered PS2 as the base system when designing multiplatform titles, just think how much better games like Madden would look and run on the Xbox than they do now. Graphics are important. If they weren't, no one would spends hundred to update their PC to the latest graphics card or purchase the next generation of gaming consoles.
