If you're biased towards every console but your own- then sadly you're missing out. Yeah, even that (OMG TEH SUCKZORZ!11!!!!) Gamecube has some redeeming qualities.


Nintendo has always been on the cutting edge of technology. Do I need to point out they were the first to use 64 bit processing with N-64?

On another related note, Microsoft is JUST catching on by using the hardware they have in the Xbox 2. (Even though they still haven't decided on the harddrive, bastards).

And you spend a lot of time arguing the point in any newsgroup you can access (except the advocacy newsgroups, of course.)

Please stop.

The whole "My Mac/PC/Amiga/BeBox/Linux box is better than your puny little {insert computer name here]" debate is stupid. It's a result of living in a society which seems to be losing the intellectual capacity to handle grey areas. Black/White, Republican/Democrat, Mac/PC. No in-between, and no sympathy or even basic respect for people who don't make the same choice you did. Are we really so pathetic that we can't accept people who buy a different kind of computer? Are we really so starved for things to do that we must resort to flooding newsgroups with irrelevant blather trying to prove that one computer is better than the next?

So many of the postings I read on this subject (try as I might, I never seem to find a way to killfile all of them) are so vituperative that I have to wonder why the posters are so insecure. I suppose it's obvious, in a sense: anyone who spends two to five thousand dollars on a way-cool computer can get uncomfortable if someone accuses them of wasting their money on an inferior machine. But the freakish fanaticism some people display towards their computers mystifies me. It reminds me of those guys who spend a lot of cash on a flashy car and make a big show of it to others in order to compensate for certain...shortcomings.

Evangelism should not be totalitarianism. If you have opinions, you are entitled to express them. So is everyone else. Deal with it. If you feel the need to vent some sort of bizarre hatred for an operating system you do not use, please try to confine it to the relevant advocacy newsgroups.

The XBOX is a stronger system...... But the PS2 does have a bigger library of games...... Personally i perfer my XBOX over my PS2 bout only cuz it has games like Halo and Mechassault. At the same time i keep my PS2 cuz I love Final Fantasy and pretty much any RPG. If given a choice of which next generation system to buy.... i would probably pick the PS3, if thats what there going to call it, cuz it will have backwards compatability and i have more PS1 games alone, then I do XBOX games..... plus my XBOX is pretty new, and I got my PS2 forever ago so i need a new one anyways......

So in short DIE FANBOYS...... But realize that the XBOX has more power then the PS2, and the the PS2 has a better game selection.......

EDIT: and yes PS1 games do count..... they play in it..... Please go and put a PS1 disc in a XBOX... or wait put one a game in the XBOX from one of Microsofts earlier systems........
WAIT A SECOND THEY DONT HAVE ONE........ PS2 has a bigger selection of games..... stop being a fanboy.....

Yes, but you must admit that they were not the first to use the cheaper (and easier to produce) disc based games. Yes, they do make inovations in the console business, but they don't make all of them. Don't be a Console Bigot.

Also, computers were 64 bit before the N64. Remember that those are gaming platforms too.
