Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 273459, member: 660650"] Well my first-hand experience regarding the XBOX is it came relatively late to the video game scene when PS2 was so popular. Naturally first reaction people made was like "why XBOX was necessary so American released a console?" and "is it even better than PS2?". Then XBOX started to have video games PS2 didn't have. It made people feel like "damn because of XBOX we cannot have the cool Star Wars games and Elder Scrolls Morrowind!!!". The exclusives XBOX had was annoying because it was a bad decision from customer point to not release the games on PS2 but instead release it on XBOX. In my country back then internet culture wasn't a thing but video game magazine culture started to be a thing. These magazines was how people learned about XBOX and also how they learned XBOX was powerful than PS2 therefore developers had no choice but to release the game on XBOX because PS2 could not handle it. This then, at least in customer level who are not Sony fanboi, made gamers understood that XBOX and PS2 are not in competition, it was like XBOX is "next gen console" here. Comparing both would be like comparing Sega Genesis and Playstation 1 at that point lol. So it made people understood XBOX is good so they bought XBOX. Even in my country XBOX was not rare or something people disliked. People were happy that they both have PS2 and XBOX. And then everyone lived happily ever after. FIN lolol. However around internet today if PS2 has more popularity it's because of PS2 and its Japanese games are way more popular than what XBOX had. However XBOX has significant exlusives and all that PS2 cannot handle and they are very big deal games. Back then not having XBOX and PS2 was unnecessary hinderence to your gaming experience even if you have a PC and some PC games were on XBOX and PS2. XBOX was way powerful and loved so much it made some people skip buying PS3 and instead buy XBOX 360. In my country XBOX 360 was way popular than PS3 and even Metal Gear Solid 4 didn't help about PS3 popularity here lol. From the start people accepted "Sony is rubbish" so they believed PS3 is just a weak console compared to XBOX 360. [/QUOTE]
