Danrarbc Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 isnt that when xbox 2 comes out? :huh: Probably, and it's a bit after Nintendo wants their new one out. They're aiming for Spring in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giga Veteran Posted July 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2003 alright...do you guys think that the ps3 will be backwards compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes. If it isn't, I think they will have many unhappy customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 alright...do you guys think that the ps3 will be backwards compatible? I think there's a very good chance all three will be. Especially considering the fact two of the three consoles they are replacing will only get a 4 year life span, MS and Nintendo are cutting them short in order to get out the same year as PS3 and not a year later again.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted July 13, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2003 I am pretty sure that gamecube and xbox won't be, im tnot sure about PS3 though. I don't remember if i heard this from ign or gamespot but teh backwards compatibility is why ps2 only has 2 controller ports and why it isn't overly advanced hardware.

kev64 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 The ps3 will be backwards compatible with ps2 but not ps1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis187 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Too bad they won't be able to compete with xbox for another two years. you can expect xbox to rule the end of this year and next. GTA, Halo 2, Fable, Doom 3, Half-life 2 and online play, something which is a hassle for PS 2 (getting the equipment to go online and a added harddrive something developer know people won't buy). while some of those game might come out for PS2 they won't compete. Playstation 2 can't touch the xbox. a lot of system come out in septmber in the us that is. game consoles have a 5 year life span then they get upgraded.

Danrarbc Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 xbox is getting gta!!! :blink: Yeah, next year Sony's contract ends and the games can go multiplatform. Both GameCube and Xbox will get it. BTW Anubis, I guarantee Xbox will not outsell PS2 these next two years. Two reasons for that - PS2 sells because of the number of games available, and PS2 has its own great games coming out in the same time period. The hard drive isn't required for anything other than FFXI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 And also, you don't need the hard drive to play online. And as Danrarbc641 said, PS3 will have its own awesome lineup of games. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the wishfull thinking of a fanboy. XBox is the better console by hardware and in my opinion games, but there is no competetion against PS2 by anyone. NO reason to lie to yourself. The staggering amount of games and quality games is just insane. Neither X-Box or gamecube will ever touch ps2s lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
