Playstation 2 has more third party support and a wider selection of games then Xbox. However hardware wise the Xbox is much more advanced then the Playstation 2. I personally couldn’t justify purchasing an Xbox till its at least been on the market for a year. This is all new ground for Microsoft and they could completely bomb if things don’t go their way. Its a lot like the Panasonic 3DO, great system years ahead of any other console but it failed miserably in the long run due to lack of games and high prices. I purchased a Nintendo Gamecube I really like there first party games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc.) and its significantly cheaper then either the Xbox or Playstation 2.
