The specs may bee better but we all know that playstation makes the better games!! Nintendo is for childrens. I'm gonna buy a PS2 because anyway. And the controls, playstation have the best controls.

Craig Charles: Welcome to tonight's 'Console Wars'!!
I: So guys, why is 'The Third Place' going to win?
Beardies: Well we've taken full advantage of the dodgy drive mechanism. That should cut holes right through the Dreamcast!
I: And why will the 'Sonic Blast' win?
Mullets: Because we are living in a time warp, and we haven't realised Sega have given up on hardware! We cannot be defeated!
Announcer: Let the console wars begin!!
Craig Charles: Er..... bu**er.....

At least the standard of English has improved around here, and we haven't seen one of those poor console wars topics for an age!

How can we possibly predict how well the Dolphin will sell when Nintendo are known to delay their consoles for so long? By the time the Dolphin is out, the X-Box will be here, and the X-Box will whip everything in terms of performance.
Btw, has anyone heard of the Indrema? It's a game console looking to rival the X-Box, but its OS is Linux rather than Windows. I haven't been able to find out much because their website only quotes some of the specs (which coincidentally are the same as those of the X-Box in most respects).
