An old addage, but applicable in this scientific look at the current console wars.

I give you exhibit A:

Three columns. On the left, PS2. In the center, Xbox, and on the right, GC. Using a ruler I measured the three piles and came up with these numbers:

PS2: 70cm
Xbox: 24cm
GC: 15cm

From this data (the sample base being me), I was able to ascertain that the PS2 is in fact, 3x better than the Xbox, and a staggering 5X better than the GC!

Shocking to say the least.

^_~

 

[Burger]

You do have some shitters in the PS2 pile though.

*Edit* Otherwise great taste

 

[fennec fox]

Someone put out a press release, quick!

 

[methodman]

lol, Metroid Prime alone is better then 1/4 of your ps2 collection put together
hahaha what is Viewtiful Joe doing in the PS2 section? Don't you have the gamecube version? :lol :lol

 

[guess]

viewtiful joe

That IS the Gamecube version, he has in the wrong pile

 

[methodman]

thats what i meant hehe

 

[Sysgen]

SEGA GT ugh!

Isn't there a name for people that like to stack? :/

 

[Amir0x]

Haha, but really..

Games I'd remove from the PS2 pile:

Xenosaga
Devil May Cry 2
Viewtiful Joe (GC) :lol
True Crime
Siren
Rise to Honor

 

[M3wThr33]

And my pile would put the GameCube as 16x more better than the PS2 (64 v 4). PS2 BOMB BOMB!

 

[Amir0x]

64 Gamecube games? Jesus Christ. I couldn't find that many quality Gamecube games even if I had a magical gaming genie.

 

[xsarien]

You own Xenosaga, I don't think you should be the barometer o' quality around here.

 

[firex]

my gc stack is much higher, but that's just from the dust that's been collecting since this summer.

 

[Brandon F]

WHat's that game underneath Fable? It looks like another Fable with a blue spine.

 

[Yusaku]

I think I see a Zelda OOT bonus disc. GC -1

[Seth C]

I'll take a pictures later, but mine would show Xboz being twice as good as PS2, and GameCube being completely worthless.

 

[buck naked]

My lists are 54 GCN, 84 Xbox, 91 PS2...

The PS2 list could be a lot bigger, but I've chosen to get a lot of 3rd party games on the Xbox and GCN (except in cases where the PS2 version is best).

Holy christ, that's a LOT of games.

 

[buck naked]

I do have a lot of games, but to clarify... I'm talking about my lists. I own 270 games and have 514 on my collection list. My list will probably extend to - and I hope to own - 600 by the end of this generation.

 

[Mr_Furious]

Aren't his piles of games supposed to represent how large the userbase is for each console? Or is he simply showing off his game collection ?

 

[SaitoH]

Oops, it appears Viewtiful Joe was placed in the wrong pile. I may have to recalculate ...

>_>

System wars via stacked games ... novel approach, or madness?!

 

[Lyte Edge]

I count 11 games in your PS2 pile that are on other systems, and for most of them, the Xbox/GC version is better.

That echoes my collection a little bit too...I have much more PS2 games than Xbox or GC titles. I play my Xbox more than anything right now though...Outrun 2, Halo 2, SF Anniversary Collection, DOA Ultimate, Outlaw Golf 2, and more are keeping me glued to it.

 

[thom]

Here's my pile...I guess ps2 sucks.

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Between my GC & PS2 I think I have a total of 4 games.

The casual gamer is me!!!

 

[Great Wasabi Man]

according to my pile you both lose NGC is suprior eventhough I never play it

 

[Mr_Furious]

Between my GC & PS2 I think I have a total of 4 games.

The casual gamer is me!!!

Pssh. My mom has more games than you. You're not even a casual gamer

 

[Minotauro]

Here are my proportions: (plus about ten since this picture was taken)

 

[Mashing]

How the fuck did Sony get away with having Socom 2 in such a huge box.... considering shelf space is a premium at most retailers?

 

[Ronin]

Thats SOCOM 1. And I think it's because of the headset.

 

[thom]

/me bows

 

[LakeEarth]

You know just counting them works just as good.

 

[speedpop]

I'm glad I don't have that many games.

Constantly finding myself looking at my 40 odd games of this gen and just thinking "I cannot be bothered to play any of these titles."

 

[Shinobi]

my gc stack is much higher, but that's just from the dust that's been collecting since this summer.

:lol

WHat's that game underneath Fable? It looks like another Fable with a blue spine.

I think that was the Fable preview disc that came out about a month or two before.

 

[olimario]

A friend has my copy of Metroid Prime.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but you really need to take better care of those Japanese GC boxes

 

[olimario]

I hope you don't mind me saying, but you really need to take better care of those Japanese GC boxes

I know I do. It's just, when I lent my system and my games to my friend Steven he was really careless with the whole of it. My cases were all around his room and now my GC lid has trouble opening.
Last time I lend him anything I care about.

 

[M3wThr33]

Well, 64 is actually the number of cases. That includes the preview disc, the zelda and Rebel strike bonus discs. On the flip side, it doesn't include the GB player box or my MP2E demo disc.

Add THUG1, SADX and MAT2 to that picture.

 

[drohne]

i have 67 ps2 games, 20 xbox games, and 20 gc games. i'd rather not see them all piled in one place. not an accurate reflection of how much i like each of those consoles, though.

 

[SaitoH]

This is a scientifict experiment, so we need numbers people. Measure them games!

^_~

 

[iapetus]

You are disqualified from the human race for owning more copies of SMB2 than SMB.

 

[ElyrionX]

A friend has my copy of Metroid Prime.

Gamecube Preview Disc doesn't exactly count. Neither does TWO copies of SMB2. And Harry Potter??!!!

 

[Screenboy]

Balance Gamecube games vertically.


GAMECUBE = WINNRAR!1

[Chittagong]

A friend has my copy of Metroid Prime.

You're very fond of Super Monkey Ball 2 aren't you?

 

[tedtropy]

You imported P.N.03? My sympathies. And why two copies of Super Monkey Ball 2?

 

[Blackace]

You imported P.N.03? My sympathies. And why two copies of Super Monkey Ball 2?

Has to pad the numbers some how!

 

[SpoonyBard]

I have 26 cube games and 23 PS2 games. And only one GBA game. GBA is doomed!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

You imported P.N.03? My sympathies. And why two copies of Super Monkey Ball 2?

Nice! Just the essentials. But where is LOZ: Collector's Edition?

 

[dark10x]

And my pile would put the GameCube as 16x more better than the PS2 (64 v 4). PS2 BOMB BOMB!

0_o

64 GC titles? That never ceases to amaze me...

How many of those are average 3rd party titles?
