Sony's taking the strong silent approach to the console wars. They don't talk about the Playstation 2 much and they barely have any ads. But while everyone is waiting for the Gamecube and the Xbox to come out, the PS2 is the king of the consoles. How well is the PS2 going to hold up to the competition though? Let's check the specs.

The Power: 393zo

Running at 300 MHz with 32MB of RAM, the PS2 outperforms the Dreamcast but falls behind the Gamecube and the Xbox. The DVD ability is a bonus but it needs more power to compete with the newer consoles.
Rating: 3Xbox come out, it's gonna lose out on some sales.
Rating: 3

The Final Word: 116g27

The PS2 is more than just a game machine. With the ability to play DVDs you can watch your fave movies when you aren't gaming your thumbs off. If it had more power it'd be a stronger competitor.
Final Rating: 3Gamecube, with the Playstation 2 checked out that leaves the Xbox for next week. Check back and see how the big, black box does against the rest of the competition.
