Hmm...kinda hard to pit the two against each other, as IMO, both haven't lived up to their promises.
Xbox, for being the "hardcore" choice for the "mature" gamer, sure has seen alot of crap that just happened to be "exclusive". Kabuki Warriors, Kakuto Chojin, Bruce Lee, Azurik, Obi-Wan...I mean wtf? Then you finally get a game that uses the Xbox HD for more than just textures, and you end up with a mediocre platformer (Blinx) with unrealistic movements and uninspiring characters. Yawn.
True, Halo is a killer-app to end all killer apps...but didn't this game come out in 2001? Why is it STILL on top of the Xbox sales list? And why the hell was it outsold by Super Smash Bros: Melee nearly 2:1; a game that came out a month later with a much more child-friendly image? BTW, it's 2003, and Halo still retails for 49.99. Whoop-de-damn do.
Not that GCN has been an angel either. While there are alot less crappy exclusives, I'll have to admit personally that playing Die Hard: Vendetta, Universal Studios, Sum of All Fears, and SpongeBob Squarepants was utterly painful. I mean, there's this one game that sits Xbox on its ass graphically (StarWars Rogue Leader), and nothing much afterwards barring StarFox Adventures (complete with stutter checkpoints seen in Halo/Splinter Cell), and Metroid Prime.
RE/RE0 will get props when PS2/Xbox develop a game
soley built around 3DS character models. Excellent they are, but RE4 on the horizon in full 3D, based on what I've seen this year, is impossible on both pieces of hardware. Could this possibly be the same company that re-released 5-6 year-old ports for $40?? You gotta be killing me.
Let's not mention hardware sales; as both systems combined are barely one quarter the size of the market leader (to be remain unnamed for the wishes of the thread starter)
So really, who's to rant on what? Who's to say what's better? They both suck IMO, and unless you didn't think anything of either console since launch you should feel the same way as far as expectations are concerned. End rant.
