Hum, I'm not going to read through ALL THESE PAGES Shooto!
To answer the original question, after Soul Calibur 2 comes out in the arcades (I get free gaming at my friends arcade) I will decide on which console to go for. Supposedly it will come out on the cube, x-box, as well as PS2.
I checked the game out at an arcade-games convention in Vegas a few weeks back, and although only 60% complete, it was fantastic. I'm a huge fan of the now aging Soul Calibur, and this will be just as good.
I'll base my desision on which console to buy on which will offer the best arcade controller.
I'm leaning towards the PS2, as it seems to be releasing the most consistant good games or the sort I like to play.
T4 should be a very faithfull conversion, and while not quite as good a game as SC, it has amused me enough to probably buy also.
