Who cares. Does it have higher specs sure. Is it as dedicated to gaming as the GameCube No. Nintendo, since the NES, has allways used extra, proprietery graphics rendering hardware specifically made for playing their games.

And even if the XBox comes out more powerful that has nothing to do with the quality of games. Remember the NES survived well into the 16-Bit era because the Genisis simply didn't have that many great games to begin with.

I cast my vote for the PS2 and GameCube any day. If I wanted flashy graphics I'd boot up Maya, otherwise I play the GameCube for a fun gaming experience that can't be beat.

Oh ya, Remember the NEO

Wow. The Xbox is clearly superior. I mean damn, that shakey ceramic hdd and the $30 adapter to play DVD's really bad? Damn, I was thinking about getting Windoze Xp, but I'll get an Xbox, they are both $300...

Heh, not very funny. Blunt, but to the point. What the fuck are you talking about here? The Xbox is worse than the DREAMCAST! Sega CD was better! It is the WORSE and BIGGEST FAILURE in console gaming history. IT sold 1 million units, then it's sales dropped like a rock and third party developers left Microsoft to rot. Because it is dead. I hate to have to break it to you PC gamers and anti-Microsoft people who seem to insist that an Intel at 733mHZ is better than an IBM PowerPC at 485mHZ, sorry, GC processes faster. PS2 processes faster, and the Xbox sucks ass.

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.

Well you see, the truth is that XBox has superior hardware and superior games. I mean sure, the gamecube is great for my 7 year old sister, but fuck, what the hell am I to do with games for 7 year olds, I need blood and guts flying everywhere, and you nintentdo guys will shun me, but I HATE!!!! SSB, always have. I say again, for a game to be fun the game must have at least one of the following, people have to cuss, there has to be blood and guts spewin everywhere, they need to be somewhat realistic, and have to be at least a little challanging for a 16 year old. OK, That is what a good game requires.



Ok, you obviously are the typical gamer who does not have any idea what the hell they are talking about. First of all, the Xbox had 20 games at launch, and 4 months later, they have 30. At the GameCube launch, 12 games. Now? 35.

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.

As for other games like Spy Hunter and MLB 2003, they are on other consoles. So what is the point? There are two clear options if you are shopping for a console: GameCube and PlayStation 2.

As for me? My fav is the PS2, and my second is GC. Just because not all of the GameCube games involve mindlessly blowing apart baddies with infinite ammo (bad cop show) does not mean that it is 'kiddie.' I know that XBOX FANBOYS like yourself don't even take FACTS into consideration, even if they are supposedly "anti-Microsoft" they just look at Halo, 733 and Bill Gates... then they think Xbox is the best.

Bullshit, just bullshit.

Wow Billy... Please tell me you dont's subscribe to that typical mentality. I mean, I like blood and guts as much as the next guy but that does not make a game.

Seriously, a game can be nothing more than a pixel on a screen and be fantastic, apart from all the other arguments and rants in this thread, my main qualm remains the same, the games on the XBox seriously lack Gameplay. It's just rehash after rehash, take a look a pikmin or some of the PS2 titles and you will notice a clear variety of genre that lacks in the XBox.

Why? As Mysterio said, Developers are bailing and leaving M$ in the Mud. Like the N64 before it M$ will never survive without Square, Nintendo, or Capcom behind them.

M$ thinks that puting PC titles on a console will sell it, but people buy consols because, they want cosole games.

I have never actually bought a Squaresoft, capcom, or nintendo game. that is because they all suck except for FF. and one set of games isn't a good enough reason to buy an old console. Guys, I think if you like gay console games, get a gay console. If you like PC Games (like myself) but don't want to have to upgrade your hardware every year and hate installing and all the shit that comes with windows then the xbox is for you.

That is what I like about the XBox is the PCGames, I have never truly liked any console game I have ever played better than some of my games on PC, and now that I don't have a PC (upgraded to PM G4) I need something to give me PC Games, cus there aren't enough games for the Mac.

Jeez... what game you need so bad, that isn't being, ro has been ported?

And if you like the sort of games it has, well that's a matter of taste. However my previous argument still stands, there is a serious lack of gameplay on their side and all the hardware in the world will not make up for that.

Jepp! XBox is nothing compared to Playstation 2. XBox has, yes, a little better ghrapic quality than PS2. But that is all.

PS2 have better games, possibility to watch DVD movies, and the possobility to play PS1 games. Can XBox do that??  I don't think so...

  :confused:  

What the $&#* are they complaining about? That's still $85 less than the XBox. If they really wanted to spend the money, go get a couple of games with your cube. Nintendo didn't design this thing to be a dumbed-down computer like Microsoft did.

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.

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.

XBOX SPEED  (http://smile.gif)
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  (http://smile.gif)  Suck shit...

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.  :(

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.  :(

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.

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.

The X-box MIGHT be more powerful then gamecube or PS2, but that's only from the possiblity of raw hardware power combined with the awesome programming of the console maker(if it had that). You add in the wind0ze and MS factor, your not getting all that l33t console efficiency.

I'd have to disagree a little bit. While music div said "we hate cd copiers!", hardware div said "16x, 20x, 24x, 32x...". Sony's hardware division is beginning to acknowledge the left hand's existence.  For Example...

At the same time, "OpenMG Jukebox", a content compression, management, and playback technology installed in PCs, has been developed to restrict illegal copying of music content from CDs and the Internet. This application is pre-installed in VAIO and is compatible with Sony's portable audio players.

Furthermore, in May 2001, Sony announced "OpenMG Light", a digital rights management and distribution system for mobile products such as cellular phones and PHS phones. Sony also aims to energize the music download service market with "Net MD", a system which transfers music content from PCs to MD players through a high speed USB cable, while restricting illegal copying of music content.

Damn, and I wanted one of those computers too...oh well. Anyways, they're not as evil as MS, but they're coming pretty close.

Looks like M$ has already released a Linux console. It's called the Xbox:

http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ (http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/)

I don't believe the stories are true about M$ losing money on the sale of the Xbox itself but if it is true, I think it would be extremely funny and ironic if all of the Xboxes are swept off the shelves to build Linux super computer clusters, thus causing M$ to lose so much money they go out of business, or at least give up on the Xcrox.  (http://smile.gif)

hmm as much as I like linux this would be poor because once you linuxify your xbox you cant play games on it and I seriously doubt microserf would happily replace it if you wanted to actually use it as a console because it violates their license agreement. Still if you never play games or have a spare xbox you could run it as a cheap server.

Oh im sure you love your X-box(can you surf for pr0n and make it an XXX-box?) XP, but you ever realize how few games(especially non-ported games) there are released for it?

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...


LOL! Im wrong then.

First of all, "I" would never buy an Xcrox.  But the entire point of my reply was that you would intentionally *not* run games on it.  It would be used only as part of a Linux cluster.  After all, it's the games that is where M$ is supposed to be making their money.  If all the Xboxes are cleared from the shelves by people building Linux clusters before the little gamer kids can buy one then there certainly will be no game sales.  M$ loses.

Im disapointed with MS. They got so much fucking money, and they fail to secure game developers interest. A possible theory, it's beyond MS control.

DeveloperX:We do console stuff to get away from the retard frustrations and limitations of the wind0ze enviroment. We shall not touch a MS and wind0ze related console system.

Now we know MS won't EVER change their system(What developer X wants), so we can say this situation is beyond MS control.

Jeez, dude. All you have to do is look at the graphics of the two. Go to IGN.com or something and you can see how much better the gamecube's graphics are. And at least the gamecube's controllers FIT IN YOUR HAND!

are you suggesting communism should be banned? what's the alternative? democracy? if you truly believe in democracy, then you will believe that people should be allowed to vote FOR communism.

Also, apple is quite obviously NOT communism. They are almost as capitalist as Microsoft.

Hehe, red ranger software, I love that name! Remember, we live in a half-democracy(Although some countries are an exception, they count as three quarters of full democracy). 150 years ago America was likely a full democracy, but now it's a nice half-democracy. Perhaps by 2050-2100(2150 at the latest) we'll see it reduced to a quarter-democracy. Damn demodecay.  ;)

Hey Red Ranger, YOU SUCK!  I love my PS2.  Its a great system.  Much better than the X-box.  X-box has higher specs because it needs them in order to make up for the platform's inefficiency.  Gamecube may be the best 128 bit system, but PS2 can run PS1 games and is a DVD player.  X-box just sucks, and so do you.  Apple dosn't even closely resemble communism.  If your going scream communism, at least  point the finger at linux (which happens to be the best OS on the market).

Not to get off topic, I'd just like to clarify something, The idea of Communism is good, it looks good on paper, but because of human nature it will never work, there will always be someone taking advantage of someone else. How the fuck is X Box better than gamecube??? It's running a 32 bit processor for gods sake. Sure it has a faster clock rate, but that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how many megahertz something has. An imaginary 20 gigahertz 8086 would be slower than a 1700 AMD processor. Instructions per second is what matters. Gamecube can compete just as well, if not better than the X Box. At least they are MAKING money with each on they sell, unlike microsoft.

If I wanted to play a computer game, I would use my friggin computer.  At least its upgradable.

Well you see, the truth is that XBox has superior hardware and superior games. I mean sure, the gamecube is great for my 7 year old sister, but fuck, what the hell am I to do with games for 7 year olds, I need blood and guts flying everywhere, and you nintentdo guys will shun me, but I HATE!!!! SSB, always have. I say again, for a game to be fun the game must have at least one of the following, people have to cuss, there has to be blood and guts spewin everywhere, they need to be somewhat realistic, and have to be at least a little challanging for a 16 year old. OK, That is what a good game requires.


You sir, are an insult to gamers everywhere.  You seem to have the intelligence of a 12 year old.  I'm 18.  I love the cube.  You have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

Oh, yeah, XBox.

Don't you mean Ex-Box?

I've seen better looking toasters (and faster frigging calculators)!  Then, don't think I'm biased - some of the new imacs look like bloody lamps (or toasters - definitely toasters)

Did anyone hear about the big problem with the Ex-Box, you know, the one where it scratched CDs?

Damn near recalled it, they did!

Now who's laughing...  :D

You seem to forget that the PS2 had a similar problem.  However, Sony fixed anyone who wanted the repair for free, while Xbox users had to get the repair done for half the cost of buying the damn thing.

Hi,

I'm the first to admit I do not know much about computers. This however does not mean I do'nt have any common sense. Heres how I see the X-Box. We know how it all started with Microsoft dominating the computer industry but that was'nt enough. Now they must also try to dominate the video game industry as well. Microsoft has expressed their need to be in control of anything with so much as a computer chip in it. Today thats just about everything. If things continue the way they are we will one day be forced to buy Microsoft coffee pots, can openers, TV's, DVD players, microwaves, stoves and on and on. We will no longer have the choice to buy a brand of whatever that we like as Microsoft will be the only one to choose from. Hows this too? One day computers fully control all cars but Microsoft fully controls all computers. You now have a car that runs on a MS operating system. You're headed down the freeway at 60 mph when the little computer screen informs you that the operating system has preformed an illegal operation and will shut down. Well there goes the engine and with it the power brakes and power stearing. It's not a pleasent thought.

Only MS could get away with such a stunt. Even if Sony is sort of like the electronics equivalent of MS, they will always deliver high quality shit. Everyone knows that Sony is high quality, and that's not gonna change. They coulden't survive if Sony TV's and stereos suddenly became pieces of shit. MS on the other hand, can survive perfectly well selling shit software.

the biggest problem with xbox is extremely technical

it is made by microsoft


and i have dropped my playstation down 2 flights of stairs and it is all full of dust and grime and it has never had proper ventilation and it STILL WORKS FLAWLESSLY

kinda like aiwa stereos--you can kick the living shit out of it and it still works

i doubt Red Ranger Software would "work" if i kicked the shit out of him

i was at Best Buy the other day, just f-ing around, looking at games, and low and behold, i look up at there xbox station, and it was crashed, bsod(well, actually green and black screen) telling us to take it to get serviced. My freind and i got a good laugh out of this, and the guy working that area said it has been doing that all week, so he just hit restart. Quality if you ask me. The other systems on display were put through the same rigorous playing and beatings day after day, and they were running smooth. funny.

then how come i can network mine for 20+hours, alot of software that is being demoed is beta, and the xbox does tend to run a bit hot, cuase its halfway between a smeleron and a pIII, buts its still x86 miroserf stuff, but it has the best first gen games. the ps2 has some pretty cool 2nd gen games, so when i start working, ill buy a ps2, and a gamecube, and have lots of fun with ALL THREE. besides, my xbox is creeping me out day by day, but i got it for christmas last year, so i can't take it apart, and it is pretty fun. and i think that there is a way to pirate music from xbox to xbox. using the memory managment, and a memory card, im not shore if it works but hey. owell, xbox did get a few things right, other then the x86 hardware it useses and the win2k kernel that it does also, owell, have phun
