This thread has been linked to the game 'Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory'.
Well Well then it appears that Splinter Cell the so called Xbox exclusive was infact a multi platform game from the very beginning and infact the developers actually wanted to make sure they could achieve the same level of detail on the PS2 and GC games otherwise they would have never have started the project.
Infact the PS2 version has extras, that are geared more towards the PS2 user as they demand more and have higher skill level, not my words but the actual developers comments.
Then again I can imagine that it's a hard game for Xbox users because of their poorly designed controllers.

That they lack advertisement and universal appeal?
Nintendo games are often original even their sequels are original and yet Sony do push mainly the same old stuff. Update if you are happy with that then thats fine although it is normally the casual gamer who doesn't know better that accepts it... your last statement basically said it sells so therefore it is good...
Maybe you'll start looking for good games.
Ico, Jet Set Radio, Dead or Alive, Devil May Cry. All non-nintendo games that I have seeked out and played and think are legendary original titles that will be my favourite games for years. I choose Nintendo because my favourite games and the amount of original legendary titles are more frequent. Just try it... give up on prejudices and you can continue them but find a newish Nintendo game and fall in love with it.
And you'll see what I mean.

But it keeps on selling.... If people agreed with you, PS2 sales would be falling and more and more people would be getting Game Cubes to play stuff like Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Mario Golf, Mario rugby, Mario Ice Skating, and Mario Flight Simulator (sorry, got a bit carried away there). But Nintendo are struggling to get 2nd place, so what does this tell us about GC and GC games?

Isn't it funny that a Sony zealot is laughing about unoriginality when the PS2's line-up is full of mostly generic trash.

Isn't it funny that a Sony zealot is laughing about unoriginality when the PS2's line-up is full of mostly generic trash.
The X-Box controller is fine - I don't know why people complain about it so much.

Good question... how about they didn't? N64 was a 3D snes but "Sony's revolution" (done before but hey) sold more... so Nintendo didn't get it wrong but Sony got it more right.

Because Rare were losing Money... which if you read the press release you would know. And Capcom's Fourth Production Studio is an ample replacement for Rare... do you know about the Capcom 5 Top Score? Of course you don't.

Mario Party is admitidly an annoying sequel game but then it isn't made by Nintendo just endorsed. If you are moaning about Mario Platformers we've had 2 in the past 7 years... not one a year and besides each Mario game is original in comparison to the last one.... Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Eternal DArkness, Metroid Prime, Doshin the Giant, Luigi's Mansion... All Nintendo games all highly original.
