Playstation is not as good as N64. No way. I hate the playstation and i'm not just saying that because I own an N64 because I also own a Dreamcast and N64 is a lot better than that as well (dreamcast is still better than playstation though). In my opinion N64 is the best console out at the moment and although a lot of the games are kiddy they are still great games (mario, banjo-kazzoie/tooie for example). There are loads of non kiddy games as well though like goldeneye, perfect dark and shadowman. Although I say that N64 is the best console out at present I have never played a PS2 although to be honest I don't think it looks that great and again, I'm not just saying that. I do think it will become a great console in the future with class games such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo 3 coming out but there really aren't enough games out at the moment to make it the best console and for 300 quid it's also too expensive. Anyway by the time MGS2 and GT3 are out the Gamecube will probably be out as well and and no matter how much people say PS2 will be better, I say - NO CHANCE!!! Just wait for Perfect Dark Zero, Wave Race:Blue Storm, Metroid, and Rogue Squadron 2. You may say that they are just sequels to old games but so are MGS 2 and GT3. Anyway they are sequels to already great games. However, I have one doubt about PD Zero and that is that I have no idea how you improve on PERFECTion. Hold on a minute, I thought that about Goldeneye and then Perfect Dark came out. Oh well , I know I can trust rare to come up with something absolutely amazing. Just think of online play with PD Zero.
Anyway, having a dreamcast as well I can also say that it is nowhere near as good as N64. It isn't bad. There are SOME really great games but there just isn't enough of them. Soul Calibur, Shenmue and MSR are the best but i've played all of those to death (with the exception of soul calibur because that just never gets boring). None of the games last as long as the great N64 games (again with the exception of soul calibur).
On the topic of next generation consoles I think that X-Box will just be a PC hooked up to a TV so I'm not going to be getting that. However, having said that, the PC does have some really great games but again, having said that, I already have a PC so why would I want another. In my opinion though it will still sell by the millions because it is made by microsoft, the definition of quality. The PS2 will also sell brilliantly (and already has) but only because of the success of the original playstation. I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be. Then we come to gamecube, the JESUS of them all. I don't think it will sell the most though. In fact I probably think both PS2 and X-Box will outsell it because whenever anybody thinks of Nintendo they immediately think of kiddies games. This is a shame because I think Nintendo and Rare (who only develop for nintendo machines) provide the best and most enjoyable video games around. I know which console I'm getting. I can't wait.
At the moment however I am stuck with Dreamcast. I can't wait for Shenmue 2. Crazy Taxi 2 and Ecco the dolphin 2 will also be pretty good but these games (with the exception of Shenmue 2) will only be diversions to keep me happy while I await the greatness of Perfect Dark Zero and Rogue Squadron 2.

Were the plugs and wires too complicated for you? The simplified N64 connections were alright, but you never got the PSX working did you. Ahhh, poor you.

It seems you don`t like the stuff that is successful. You like DC and N64, and not PSX, which says it all. Are you yourself an underahiever?

Yup, that they are.

Though thats probably it. maybe Body harvest or quake, but on the whole they are kiddy. The proportion of kiddy to non kiddy games is vastly different from that on the PS.

I`m just not going to bother with the same old argument. So I`l summarise it to this: You don`t know what you`re talking about.

So the GC has been brought forward to July huh? Even MGS2 is going to be out before the end of the year. Also, for those that have some idea of what`s around on PS2, there are more than just two games available.

The other way around now, but at least your honest.
Anyway

So MGS and GT weren`t huh? You haven`t tried those game either then.

It may not be as good, as Free Radical have left them, so there is less brilliance behind the game now.

TimeSplitters is far better than PD when it comes to speed and mulitplayer fun.

This will get more than just PS2 owners annoyed.

So the games on the DC are better, but the N64 ones just last longer. I don`t care.

Though of course you`ve already said the PSone was bad, so you`re now slightly contradicting yourself. Also the PC comment may deter more than just you.
