Round One: With an early start, PS2 learns and adjusts to the consumers and starts work on spaectacular titles, and the Gamecube and the XBox take off with some good titles but not many. The price of the Gamecube helps sell it while a PS2 price cut leaves that flying off the shelves as well. The XBox, with high prices and not to many must have games gets a very bad start and needs a miracle to win this battle.

Round Two: The consoles move into the ring and both systems, PS2 and Gamecube, deal the XBox huge blows offering great games that are must have and XBox is barely holding onto the gaming industry with a good online plan. Just the Gamecube and the PS2 are left fighting for the number one spot on the gaming industry.

Round Three: The Gamecube brings out the big guns with games like Zelda and Mario, while Sony pulls out equally big guns with Metal Gear Solid 2 and Devil May Cry. They start to go into very minute things and they move onto the next round.

Round Four: The games go along to fight, the graphics are equal and they block the blows dealt by the other. Then they start focusing on characters, with Solid Snake and many original characters the PS2 deals a huge blow to the Gamecube who has only rehashed games like Super Smash Brothers and other series that belong in the 2D realm.

Round Five: This is what it comes down to, the online plans of the two companies, with Nintendo hanging onto the chance for a first spot in the industry, but Sony plans had just come into play and they are going all online with great games like Unreal and they manage to push Nintendo to an extremely close second.
