Simply put Billy Gates, I bet you $100 that you don't like the GC games because they actually require thought and problem solving skills... things essential for development in a civilized society.

I have used both XBOX and a Game Cube and by far the most "challenging" was the Game Cube.  Try your hand at Pikmin man and you will see why looks can be deceiving.  I asked for Pikmin for Christmas and got it and boy can I tell you, what looks like a children's game was really a very complex puzzle game that I wouldn't force any kid under the age of 8 to attempt.

Before you go knocking a Console simply based on the mindless "gore" factor, TRY it out, Thinking is harder than killing.

Fuck the Xbox. I hate it, and all that it represents. True, this is half blind, because I hate M$, but just think of what it is going to do to the console industry.

I play consoles because I HATE PC games. I HATE FPS type games. They have become so unoriginal and cookie cutter too. And now that Microshaft has a console out that requires no porting effort, the derth of bad PC games will come out and flood the videogame market. While I know this will trash the Xbox, the competition will follow suit and throw a glut of titles me too titles on too. Must I accept subpar software in the console market too?

Fuck Microsoft, just fuck them.

Welcome home..  

I feel EXACTLY the same way .. except i do like some fps.  I expect the pc market to flood the console world with tons of pc ports.. sad.  Oh well, leave console gaming to nintendo and sony, and fuckmicrosoft   .

lol, fuck XBOX - I bet you anything if you stop past one in a shop - you'll play it, hypocrite.

Yeah its 'powerful' its just a boxed celeron 700 on a win2k kernel. Games so far seem quite good - but I can guarantee they'll just port old games like Quake3 and stuff over like on PS2.

Hey I'll buy anything that looks good, has good games (quality and variety),  with a good price. atm, its ps2.

SNES was THE BEST. I got 1500+ games on CD-ROM.

Trying a xbox doesn't make you a hypocrite; buying a xbox would make you a hypocrite.

Saying something sucks without trying it makes you a fool.

XBOX SPEED  
the bitrange on the gamecube is WIDER and it is really 4x what it says:
If you scale the Xbox to Nintendos:
485MHz IBM PowerPC "Gecko" w/256KB L2 Cache
the xbox would only be:

183.5mhz - Cpu
33.2mhz - FSB

Because the XBOX can only transfer /4 of the Gamecubes 128 bits    Suck shit...

[ravuya]

I'm not getting involved in this fanboy debate, but I just felt that I should chip in that the GameCube's CPU is a modified G3 with a few AltiVec instructions added to it.

Ok I am highly interested in this X-box debate. I am amazed that X-box is dead, I NEVER saw any signs coming, then again im not a console gamer.

Until I found this site I was under the impression that the X-box was fucking awesome, even though i'd never tried one.  

WTF happened is all I gotta say. I guess Microsoft has so much marketing clout, they can blind everything.

One Megahert is really nothing. What really makes a processor good are the materials that it utilizes, and the hardware that helps it work. Numbers mean nothing with hardware.

Totally true. Did you know the Super Nintendo has these measly specs:

CPU type: 65c816 (16-bit)
CPU speed: 2.68 and 3.58 Mhz (change able)
RAM memory: 1 Mbit (128 Kbyte)
Picture Proc. Unit: 16-bit
Video RAM: 0.5 Mbit (64 Kbyte)
Max resolution: 512 x 448 pixels
Colors Available: 32 768 colors
Max colors at once: 256 colors
Max sprite size: 64 x 64 pixels
Max sprites: 128 sprites
Min/Max Cart Size: 2 Mbit - 48 Mbit
Sound chip: 8-bit Sony SPC700
Sound channels: 8

Gee that's a pretty slow CPU. If a SNES game was ported to DOS, you'd probably need a 486/33 to run it good. To emulate it good you need a pentium 166. Kinda funny ain't it? Now that's what I call squeezing out power! Although the price was bullshit in the later years. I mean when you have pentium 200's around, this 286-ish technology shoulden't of even been remotely close to the amount it was worth in the later "high tech" years. But that's how consoles work.

Developers have dropped the Xbox. At first, M$ had support, but now they have nothing. Because they are, in fact, nothing. The Xbox does not have superior games. Most of it's exclusives are clear rip offs of games from other consoles. Like Halo, for example, it is a rip-off of Perfect Dark 64 without Simulants.

Yes but isn't it the developers fault? They didn't come up with some rad ideas to put on the system right?

Oh and Halo is a Perfect Dark 64 rip-off?! Ok I've never played either, but I've seen screenshots and read some about both. PD is a futuristic spy thriller IIRC. Halo is about being a badass alien wastin' Marine. You go through huge enviroments(especially outdoor, looks beautiful!), drive around in tricked out pimpmobiles(metaphorically), and the action is fast and furious... or so I gathered from what I've ummmm "absorbed". How the fuck could that be a Perfect Dark rip-off?

Ok I seriously am not an X-box fanboy. I've just always been impressed with such a seemingly awesome system.

lights and tinsel do not a party make.

the sooner the xbox sinks the better, for marketing and propaganda reasons.

I was at the video store today. Let's check the console section. Tons of PS2 and PS games. There's a shelf of Gamecube games. Ok X-box has it's own shelf(same size as the other shelfs, although the PS1 has 2 shelfs)... you guys are right on the fucking money. Not only are the boxes not "semi-stacked" like the PS2/PS1 boxes(a little low on room), there's actually a reasonable amount of space between each title. IT GETS WORSE! There's also SEVERAL copies of each game! Can you believe it, so low on X-box titles they have to have more then 2 copies of the same game(no more then 10 to 15 X-box titles at the max, not including duplicates)! BTW this was at Roger's Video.

[lazygamer]

Oh and im not a console gamer. Strangely, I love console games(don't own a modern console or even a PS1 though), I love the show "Electric Playground(a mostly console show with some PC coverage)" and if someone offered me a free video gaming magazine I would definitly read it.
