the gamecube is a good console, weak points,

1. design - not an issue, you look at the ps2, big ugly, and overrated then the gamecube - small cute and in 5 respectable coulors.

2, no support - well ninteno will get it - as soon as the developers find out what they are missing.

3 -image - a problem! .

strenths

1, great games

2, - price

3. -ease of development

4, getting bored of typeing

5,- get a gamecube

i is a nintendo fan, and i will be very surprised if it is released this year in Europe. if history has anything to go by nintendo wont release it this year. but maybe with gamecube things will change. i suppose games are easier and quicker to produce and thus maybe there might actually be some good games on launch. but really a november launch? oh god it would be the best christmas ever!

I don't agree with you here. The GC will be released in Japan in July, US in October, and Europe in November.

The fact is, there's already a company out there making the display stands for the games!

It will certainly come out before the X-Box, as Nintendo have already shipped their development kits, whereas the X-Box's specs aren't yet finalised, and neither are their development kits.

Anyway, by the time that they're released the PS2 should have some decent titles,and developers will have gotten over the apparent hurdles of PS2 development, so the console sshould beon a pretty enven playing field.

That means that you'll have to decide which console you want based on the games available for it!

Umm. You obviously have no basis for this. Miyamoto said that the game GameCube will be about £150. Good. Officialy in development are around 45 games, including Perfect Dark 2, Luigis Mansion, Too Human, RIQA and a host of others.

HA!

Shut up. The GC is out this year. If you use your head rather than your stupid pig's brain.

True!! ;P
But the GC isn't even out yet so the big N haven't had a chance to make the mistakes they made with the N64 (See Edge)
Anyway they're already mage a bit or a mistake in the fact that the GC looks a bit like a childs lunchbox. Or maybe a pink toaster......

Just before the release of MGS2!


(Sorry I just found it funny that you posted this, then a hour or so later, it turns out that MSG2 had been delayed. Maybe the Gods prefer Nintendo?)
