Just look at this comparison for the 6th gen version of Just Cause 1 (you heard that right).

Why?
Why was the PS2 severely underpowered?

Because the Xbox came out after the PS2 and had the luxury of being able to compare hardware specs with its competitors a what else was competing with the PS2 at that point? The dream cast?
Ayden Foster
It came pretty early and they wanna sell at a loss like the OG Xbox.
Luis Howard
PS2 still had the best games.
Connor Cooper
They didnt*

Compare?
The OG Xbox was a half-a-generation ahead of the competition. EVERY SINGLE THIRD-PARTY GAME looked and played better on Xbox, with less loading times. Comparable my ass.
Josiah Davis
xbox was like 3x bigger than a ps2

When was the last time the most powerful console won the generation?
It's not about power, it's about quality software and the PS2 has a fuckhuge library of classics.
David White
specs don’t matter considering xbox was trash compared to ps2 and gamecube, and i owned all 3
Kevin Hernandez
Xbox was sold at a big loss, something unsustainable for sony

Me when trying to explain to PS3fags about the 360.

8th generation. I am sure that the Xbox One X rapidly outsold the PS4 Pro, but the base consoles, the PS4 dominated the Xbox One.

But the Wii won (and all we got was shitty shovelware and Nintendo acting retarded for 10 years).
Justin Cox
its wasnt, xbox was overpowered and overpriced

Nintendo consoles are entirely supported by Nintendo software since the N64, and the Wii had a pretty good library if you count Twilight Princess and other Gamecube crossplats as Wii games.

The original Xbox, considering it had a ton of great hidden gems, Xbox Live and LAN games with shit like MechAssault were a ton of fun, and it did have the best versions of the majority of console multiplats it got. It even managed to snipe some of the PS2's best games, like MGS2 and Silent Hill 2 though it's honestly arguable whether or not they were decent ports You could also make a case that the 360 did too, considering that the PS3 was pretty lukewarm until the final few years, and the only thing the Wii held to its name was being purchased by about 70mil seniors that never touched the thing after playing Wii Sports once.

It's not underpowered. It just was weird to code for and it needed more Vram. Games developed from the ground up for PS2 tended to look and play well. If it's a port, it's always worse.
Luis Wilson
there were a couple 3rd party games where they arbitrarily made it worse on xbox. most of them i think they just didn't bother taking advantage of the hardware. maybe with something like mgs2 the game was so specialized to the original hardware that it's understandable though.
Ryan Powell
Are you seriously so delusional you think the Xbox beat the PS2?
Christian Bell
pro definitely outsold X
Gavin Miller
The PS2 was the pinnacle of video gaming. Everything has gone downhill since.
