Regarding Atari Anthology, the PS2 is better in my opinion because it supports trackballs, like the X-Arcade, for games such as Missile Command. The Xbox version does not.
That said, if you interested in classic gaming, the Xbox is fantastic for emulation. It does everything up to the 16-bit era for the most part. The emulator interfaces are really good and a far cry from the clunky ones on a PC.
All this said, PS2 does have a better originals library with games like Shadow of the Colossus.

You are basing your modern console purchase entirely on the emulation quality of an Atari 2600 collection??

I fit the Dreamcast in its own generation. It was the transition to modern gaming imo.Xonticus wrote:You forgot Dreamcast before Gamecube, unless you somehow fit that into the ps1-n64 gen.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:This is how I would rank last gen.noiseredux wrote:1. Gamecube

Anyway, Xbox = Best Western-Developed Games; PS2 = Best Eastern-Developed Games. That's really all you need to know.
Re: Atari Anthology: PS2 or XBox
