You missed the "Online" point
Let me rephrase it for your simply mind to understand...what I meant was that online doesn't dictate if a console wins or not alone...there are a number of factors that dictate this.

The reason the PS2 did well is because the PS1 did well...why did it do that? because it was a far superior system to anything Nintendo had at that time...Nintendo wasn't late to the genre they ruled it before Sony came around.

So, check yourself before you think you can give anyone a history lesson. That's why I'm not totally against the fact that one day...yes it's possible that the Xbox can surpass the PlayStation...but not anytime soon in my opinion.

Your right MS entered late to different markets and have done well if not dominated but they have also entered markets where they didn't win...can you say Quicken vs Money? as one example. Quicktime vs Windows Media Player is another although I don't know about recently...but anyone it's just to make a point.

Halo was #1 yes, but that's all Xbox has to offer...how many PS2 games were #1? Too many to list here plus their SOCOM series did awesome online and the PS3 will take online to another level...YES...thanks to Xbox Live's greatness which is why in the end competition is good for everyone and we the gamers win by having the best of both worlds when the right time comes...for now...that time hasn't come for me, so Xbox will have to do better to win me over...that's all I'm saying.

You say I know nothing about keeping revenue low by having a subscription service? and what do you know? not much I can tell from your poor grammer...ha ha...I bet your still playing Pong.
