    Aparently the Gamecube(which was released a few days after the xbox) has been out selling the Xbox by almost 50%

    And because of the "sell the hardware cheap" policy MS are loosing between $100 and $120 per machine sold. Nintendo only lose $20 and the Gamecube is $100 cheaper.

    YES!!!
    I hate the XBox. I mean, it's just a PC in an ugly black box. I think it will have the same types of games that can be got on any PC. You know, First Person shooters, extremely dark RPG's; I hate those.
    Nintendo's console will be way better in my opinion and I'm glad it's outselling the XBox. Nintendo are waaay more original.
    UP NINTENDO!!!!

    What about the PS2? Nothing beats Final Fantasy, or Wipeout Fusion, or Ico or some of the other games out there.....

    Xbox is Ok, but has already been surpassed by current hardware architecture.

    Even after saying those things about Gamecube, it is only Nintendo themselves who will release the best titles for it.
    Therefore PS2 will probably end up being my favourite. RPG's are my faves and Nintendo never really get much besides their own. I think the same could happen with XBox. PS2 will have them and I can't wait for Grandia Xtreme, FFX and FFXI .
    Oh, and let's not forget Metal Gear Solid 2...
    I have had a good few consoles over the past so I'm not someone who is totally dedicated to one make of console, but the PS2's the best at the moment.

    It's a bit stupid for you to say which is best. All we can do is wate and see which is the best one. And microsoft
    arn't going to lot the xbox die, they're going to fight and probable going to win. but I think it will be like this
    1. GBA
    2. GC
    3. Xbox
    4. Ps2

    Well I just want Sony to do well cause they brought me into 32-bit world and showed that the Playstation 1 could surpass even the Nintendo 64.
    I wish the best for them.

    I think (and hope!) it will turn out like this:
    1) PS2
    2) GC
    3) XBox

    As for the GBA, well I don't like comparing handheld consoles with big ones but I expect it to do well!

    Also, even now that Sega are just going to create software instead of consoles, I can't help but think that a good few years down the line that they will come back with a brand new console that could blow the competition away. I think they still have big secrets and plans hidden.
    Well, that's what I think!
    What does every one else think?
