I mentioned that I had looked at the xbox because it had one game I wanted, and the guy at the store looked at me in a very knowing way and said, and I quote, "don't get the xbox." Then his buddy looked over and said, "PS2." Both conceded that the xbox had very good graphics, but the general concensus is that the xbox isn't doing well.
Strangely enough, there aren't many used xbox games showing up either. With teh ps2, there are so many owners, that anytime a game comes out, used copies show up pretty fast. Thare aren't any used xbox games around here.
