i know you have took time to research this and type it... but, you know what i think, seriously. . . WHO CARES?! "intelligent" people dont buy the consoles just becuz it SELLS more... that's a VERY biased and "stupid" decision yet again, it all goes down to software... but still, just becuz a mediocre Game is selling like hotcakes, doesnt mean i would buy it... c'mon who gives a shit... heck i'd rather play a Good and DECENT GAME, even though it sold like only 2000 copies internationally... and i dont think its fair that your being totally one-sided and always sticking to PS2, there are OTHER great consoles out there, just wanna remind you sorry if i sounded a bit harsh, but as you said, "So wat guys think about all of this?" and i just expressed myself peace^_^V |

Hey, all your info is for Australia.
In United States, the latest is that XBOX is outselling PS2. Yep thats right, more people are buying XBOX now instead of PS2.
Just curious, is Australia PAL or NTSC?

Pal dude pal ... the best is Pal as u would know. btw darkschneider the reason why MAYBE America would buy xbox is because Microsoft is American ... thus would have lots more advertising etc...etc... ;D But internationally as well PS2 is is out selling all other consoles by miles ;D main reason is of it's games. Btw Buddha-Kun I is not al ways one-sided it's just I all ways go for tha best ... and the best only which in this case is PS2 Damn man ... i should sign a contract with sony ... to much advertising for them ... I mean me alone and my advertising campaign might have made Sony sell a few 100 more consoles ;D ... I demand a pay rise ;D lol ;D The main reason that I made this thread is to inform the consumer to make his right choice and know of what's going on in the console worldIt took me quite some time writing it up u know  need i say more  |

and wrong, PAL is NOT teh "best"... NTSC is, more compatible...
Europe = PAL
N.America, S.America, Japan, some parts in Asia, = NTSC
this means, MOST consoles/games are in NTSC...
and this DOESNT make any difference anyway....

Number of systems sold means nothing. What's the use if you sell your console well below fabrication price, after which your buyers don't buy the games that come with it? I'd like to see more than just a market share. I'd like to see how many games ps2, xbox, gamecube etc owners buy on average for their system. I'd like to see what margin Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo etc have per sold game. I believe that, at one certain point, Sega had the biggest market share in console world. You do the math |

EA are the richest software company in the world and they sell the most games... however they are the purveyors of more mainstream shite than I care to remember... they churn out mediocre game after mediocre game, with only the odd title that actually plays well (SSX, Need For Speed etc) Going back to the PAL thing, both NTSC and PAL have their pros and cons, but basically: PAL = A little bit better picture quality as the screen is made up of more lines, but when it comes to games many run about 17.5% slower and have huge borders unless they are optimized for PAL or have PAL 60hz options. See PAL Tekken Tag for a REALLY bad example of this. Thankfully Tekken 4 has 60hz options. NTSC = Slightly worse picture quality but you don't get the problems that PAL users get with speed issues. Although most PS2 games don't have problems anymore and they thend to have 60hz, Xbox is actually better in this respect as it doesn't really have these problems... been a while since I used my Xbox, but if iirc you can switch the actual console to 60hz in the menu right? (damn my feeble memory  ) Gamecube also does this. Kaz |
