How many game titles are available for the xbox and how many for the playstation 2?

Howdy bluetrade-ga,

I have the totals for the number of Xbox and PlayStation 2 game titles
that are intended for the American market, that is, it does not include
titles that may be intended for the Japanese market, etc.

Will this suffice as an Answer to your Question?  Thanks!

Howdy bluetrade-ga,

If the bet is which gaming system has the most titles, it is the
PlayStation 2 by a wide margin, so I hope that is the one you
selected.  The sources are the official web sites of both of the
systems.

For the Microsoft Xbox, we have to go to their "Catalog" web page.
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/catalog.htm

They have 16 pages of game titles, with 25 titles per page, plus one
partial page with 12 titles, which would make for 412 total.  However,
17 of those titles are not yet released, so there is a total of 395
game titles available for the Xbox.

For the Sony PlayStation 2, you can use their "Gamefinder" web page.
http://www.us.playstation.com/gamefinder.aspx?sysd=2

Once at the above web page, you can click on the "Find Games" button,
which will give the first page of the list of all of their games.  As
they list 20 per page and they have 35 full pages and 1 partial page
of 13, they have 713 game titles in total.  But this isn't an accurate
count as 12 of those titles are "Coming Soon," so the actual total of
PlayStation 2 game titles is 701.

If you need any clarifcation, feel free to ask.


Search Strategy:

Went to the Xbox and PlayStation web sites and counted the titles they
have on their lists.
