    very thorough explaination.but the only disagreement i have with your ratings would be the action/adventure genre.ps2 has the likes of shadow of rome,god of war,devil may cry,ratchet and clank and other noteable games.the only game i hear from xbox is ninja gaiden.
    i dont have xbox so im under the impression that based on ninja gaiden being so good that it constitutes a better action/adventure selection based on that fact.

    I know sui-cyco. But technically rachet and clank is platformer. Just a weapons based platformer. It's true that they are great games but we, as PS2 supporters, can afford to give that to them. And I just remembered two more genres

    Driving games- Forza Motorsport, Project Gotham Racing, Gran Turismo, etc. I'd have to say XBox wins this because PS2 basically only has GT and the old NFS:HP2(I think this one had no XBox port). But NFS:HP2 was great arcade fun. Xbox wins this one though

    Rythm games- Games like Amplitude. This is a little unfair but looking at it broadly I don't think XBox even has these kinds of games.

    Oh I also forgot another one
    Puzzle games- Katamari for PS2. Need I say more. Ps2 wins.

    So new score is
    Xbox- 7
    PS2- 10

    Oh wait change score
    XBox-6
    PS2-10
    I called platformers even when I clearly shouldn't have. I completely forgot 2 platformers that I think are the best I've played and so do many other people. Not to mention another one. PS2 wins platformers carried by Rachet and Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak. Oh there's maximus too.

    i was seriously inquiring about the action/adventure games on the xbox.thats the only game i hear people talk about with the xbox as far as action/adventure,ninja gaiden.i mean is there anymore?

    and it shouldnt matter which is the best if you own both systems because you can play the best of both worlds.

    its kinda unfair though,that xbox came out after ps2 thats why it boasts a more powerful system.but then again ps2 benefits from a bigger game library because of it.but now they have switched roles.with xbox 360 coming out way before ps3.so now xbox 360 will have the bigger library and ps3 will have the more powerful system.though i heard the 360 wont be backwards compatible?true or false?

    False - It is backwards compatable.

    Lethal_B....

    Do you think i care about being a fanboy if i am one. My point is that most of the good games are on ps2 and that is just my opinion.

    Lethal_B is partly right. It is backward compatible but not for all XBox games. Most of the popular ones are backwards compatible though. And the XBox 360 is not coming out much earlier than the PS3. Roughly only half a year unless Sony delays it. And because the XBox 360 is coming out earlier doesn't mean it will have a larger game library. It has little or no platformers, RPGs and fighting games which could make it sell very good in Japan. And I would remain reserved about Media Center capability. Like many Microsoft products it probably has a lot of bugs and can be hacked into easily. The PS3's media center capability should be more reliable as it's running on a Linux OS.

    For some reason im under the impression that most of you guys like the PS2 better because your are capable of getting away with modding and "backing up" games and other illegal activites.

    There are lots of XBox modders too. They even show you how lots of times on the Screen Savers at TechTV. And it can be updated through online updates. That's one use of the hard drive. Connect to Microsoft server and update the software.
