I dont think i have ever heard anything stupider. I have both systems, i like them both, but Xbox is better and that is a proven fact. Why would you come on this website and say that.

Er, no. Saying that Nintendo are the best designesr of games and controllers in the world is not an opinion, it is a fact. If you'd have played as many games as I have on a range of consoles from different genres and developers then you'd know that, and if you don't then you don't really know how a game works. Not saying that you can't play games and have not have fun, it's just that you don't understand the design so you can't see or appreciate the game for what it actually is.

Having said that, you don't have to like or enjoy a game simply for design. You can have just as much fun, if not more on, a poorly designed game, but technically that game IS WORSE as far as games go. Take GTA for example - terrible graphics, clunky lock-on and control system, god awful draw distance and it's only appeal is violence, swearing and culture. The point is that even though it's poor gameplay wise, people still have fun playing it. Game wise, that makes it a fact and not an opinion. When you see something for what it is then it makes it ten times better because you understand how clever it is, or it can make it ten times worse of course.

Again people, all three consoles should not be judged by the console itself, judge games on games. If you wanna get anywhere in the games industry then you're gonna have to have an open ended mind when it comes to consoles and games. Don't bring your personal prejudice into this debate.

This is to the post Mat Mat put up about GC being the best console.

I'd like to say that you have a pretty solid argument about the gamecube. However, The argument/problem has never been about Nintendo's quality of product, Nintendo's problem has always been and will be for a while their lack of any 3rd party support. All of Nintendo's hits have been from them, and the problem with that is that they don't produce enough games (in a decent amount of time)to keep most gamers happy, the wait for the big N's next title is always beyond the horizon. We all love Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda(a lot of people were unhappy with the last one), Mario Tennis, Pikmin(some of you anyway), Super Mario Sunshine (what a great game), and the new Resident Evil coming out, (I'm not including any pokemon titles). I know I've missed one or two of their big titles but that pretty much sums up any reason to own the gamecube. They have no online support for the new online community of gamers rising and the third party support they do have hasn't produced much to get excited about (and why should people when they can get it on xbox or sony). Also the games that Nintendo does produce that are great are just that, great games they have no story really (with the exception of Zelda and Eternal Darkness <<----one great game I forgot, probably one of the best storylines I've ever played through that is right up there with FF3 & 7). You can pretty much sum up every reason to own a gamecube with 4-5 games, if that. That's being generous. One reason I did away with mine is that I hardly ever played it because nothing of interest was ever released and anything that was released by Nintendo was, again I say, too few and far between.

To conclude Mat, what I think you really mean is that nintendo is the number 1 developer of fun/platform games. That, you could make a strong argument for. But I'm sorry to say that the facts are against you as far as it being the best console to own. We already know from many magazine articles that XBOX over powers the PS2 and gamecube in specs and in ease of programming. But that's another discussion for another day.

I will say this though, I'd buy and get a gamecube back any other day before I'd take a PS2. It's been a few years and Resident Evil is coming out, I never played the last Legend of Zelda game, I think Eternal Darkness is the best ever, and I really should finish Mario Sunshine.

Like I said every reason possible you could want a gamecube ^^^^^^^

  • 10.29.2004 11:43 AM PDT

Sorry for typos and poor grammar in my posts. I try to spend as little time in here as possible.

my two cents is i have

gamecube 15 games
ps2 30 games
xbox 12 games

i sold the ps2 cos it was just balls, killzone they calim will challenge halo. the only press that will get is from that foolish statement alone. It wont match the first and to even attempt on the second (or so it would seem, come on nov 11th come on nov 11th) is just possibly the worst and damaging claim they could have said

#4 four contr. ports

Four Controller ports have been on since n64 or longer ago. And the question here is not which one is the best but which one you prefer.

Moron Fanboy, shut yer mouth. Here is the breakdown Bi#ch Eater. Xbox starts off as #1. Best graphics, online support, and has a harddrive plus 4 controller ports. Cube is second, 2nd best graphics system, games are decent (although can be stupid) has controller ports but the memory catagory fails to PS2. PS2 has better games and memory mangaement but not as good as Xbox. The graphics pail in comparionson to everyone else cause Sony are morons and didn`t devolp their techonlogy better.

Have you ever seen Final Fantasy X2's graphics? They rival early Xbox game graphics.

Sorry guys, but the GameCube is the better of the three. Simply basing this argument on the console itself is pointless, as someone could easily claim that the PC owns everything performance wise. And then couple that with the PC's online ability plus the mouse and keyboard...

... anyway, you've gotta base this arguement on the games, as that's why people buy consoles. As far as games are concerned, the GameCube wins hands down. Design wise, you can't compete with Nintendo, and when you consider that 99% of a games goodness is down to design, you can't argue.

There is more must have games on the GameCube then any other title. I am basing this on how the game is designed and it's origionality, not what is popular as that's a whole different kettle of fish. Popularity wise the PS2 wins hands down, but it's only the branding that sells PS2's to people who don't know no better, like GTA fans.

Also, the GameCube does have the best controller, though I have no problem with either the PS2 or Xbox ones. Again this is based on design.

I'm sure that even the designers at our beloved Bungie would agree.

Oh and by the way if you are going to respond to this post then make some valid points and don't just flame me. I'll happily talk to anyone wishing to have a conversation.

2 words: STUPID -blam!-. GameCube is a piece of -blam!- and everyone knows it. Nintendo make that thing for little kids. "WHAT...RATED M...OMG" <<< nintendo
Go play some Animal Crossing or Mario Sunshine.

Hey Grif! Chupathingy, I like it......it's got a ring to it- Sarge

Well, each console has its own high points and lows, like Xbox has better things than PS2, but PS2 may have better things then Xbox, and the Gamecube may have better things than both.


On the other hand what does PS2 have that Xbox doesn't beat, nothing, and there never will be.The cube, well untill Resident Evil4 and the new Legend of Zelda Game comes out it has nothing, but it still is better than PS2.

For Xbox, I believe someone put it "because it has Halo" and I couldn't agree more,

XBOX RULZ, if u don't like it kiss my @$$!
