Gamecube has a huge a price difference because Xbox is 300 dollars!!!! But Gamecube is only 200 dollars!!!! They both go as smoother because they both go around 60 frames per second!!! In my opinion, i think that there are going to be better games. I just don't like the games that are coming out for Xbox and i love nintendo and playstation. I'm not making fun of America because i love this country but when was the last time they made a console. The last time was at like Atari. So trust me on getting Gamecube instead of Xbox!!!

Y get the X-box at all even if it was the only console going? I really do hope that Nintendo step up their advertising this time. Last time not even many thrid parties advertised their games!

PLEASE say that was a joke??? Right???
Because if it wasn't, can I just say:
THE XBOX IS NOT A PC.
It is as much of a PC as the Dreamcast... in fact, the DC was more of a PC because half of its games used Windows CE OS, whereas the Xbox only uses Direct X.
Anyway, the fact is that, like any console, the Xbox will not "crash" show "blue screens of death" or need games to be installed on it...
It is just another games console! The only reason for the rumours about blue screens is the bad vibes MS send out!
Oh, and Strafex hit the nail on the head, except for one thing I don't disagree with...
Although you are totally correct about the Poly counts lowering, I still believe that the Xbox will, in a games environment, have more polys onscreen with full effects than the GC. However, having said that this will in no way make games better... that's dependant on the developers entirely.

Nintendo need to release a huge advertising campaign to dispel that idea, and to promote the fact that the GC wil have/ has a lot of more adult/teenager orientated games - The '64 had pletny, but Mario was classed as a kids game, and so was Zelda - But both were far better than any adult game on the PS1 (MGS was the only one that came close, with FF& nearly there, but that had 'cartoony garphics') (!)
Sonic Rav is pretty much right.
Even though the Gamecube has many advantages over the Xbox and is a far better console in our opinions, it doesn't mean that the public will choose it.
Look at how the PS2 trounced the Dreamcast.
The Xbox has a big following.
Someone at school was telling me (by the way, this guy isn't an idiot and is only a semi-casual gamer) how the Xbox was so much better than the Gamecube because it was easy to convert PC games to and it did 150 million polygons a second compared to the Gamecube's 6-12.
WE all know that the Gamecube is just as easy, if not easier to make games for compared to the Xbox.
WE all know that the Gamecube's 6-12 million poly's are based around game conditions while the Xbox's 150 million are based around when the entire system is based around the graphics.
I tried to explain that the Xbox's polycount drops to nearly as low as the Gamecube during a game but he didn't seem to understand.
He also seemed to think that Nintendo systems were for 6-12 year olds...
The Gamecube is good and has a few titles (like Rogue Leader) which are amazing casual gamers, but it is yet to produce enough games to blow the mass market away.
WE know that Monkey Ball, Smash Brothers and Pikmin are top class.
That doesn't mean the system's main buyers do.
