Wow, this statement is completely false. Sports are DEFINITELY better on PS2 if you know sports at all. The control layout is much better for this. In addition, EA Sports is the only great sports game maker and they only have online play for PS2. In addition to the sports world, fighting games are also much better on ps2 as a result of the control.
Racing games are a toss up. if you're serious about these types, go PS2, GT3 and GT4 wipe the floor with ANY XBOX entry.
HOWEVER, if you LIKE the controller for XBOX just grab one of those. If you want ONLINE sports games grab a PS2...I just got my network adapter for playing Madden and NCAA, its a great time.
If I were you figure out the genres you enjoy and post them here. Also look at xbox.ign.com and ps2.ign.com
