Sony win hands down. Better consoles, more up to date marketing attracting more gamers, not just kiddies, and definitely a larger variety of gameplay, with better graphics, FMV easily accessible and adding to the enjoyment of games, cheaper products, better peripherals, and a larger userbase.

Manager: So then how well is the PS2 doing?
Tea Boy: Well in Japan games aren't selling well, consoles are selling great everywhere, but...
Manager: but what?
Tea Boy: but, but many of third parties are leaving us, because they are losing to much money.
Manager: Do we still have Capcom and Konami?
Tea Boy: yes we do, but they are developing for the GC now.
Manager: and what about SEGA?
Tea Boy: they are developing games for the GC and GBA.
Manager: is the PSX still selling well?
Tea Boy: no, not really.
Manager: so then you are basically saying we are in trouble, even though we are making lots and lots of money.
Tea Boy: yes, its because...'interupted'
Manager: its because of little craps like you preferring the better company, how many times did you advise me to release only a few games at launch, how many times did you the little tea boy advise me to release more consoles at launch with a lower rrp.
Tea Boy: I don't know
Manager: NONE!! WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR!!
Tea Boy: Making tea?
Manager: GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!! YOU ARE FIRED
Tea Boy: Fine then, just don't blame me when the PS3 fails as well.
**door slams**
Manager: 'to himself' ahh, what a great idea, the Playstation3 such an original name, now then....

Remember how much the 3DO was....about £500-700
the X-Box won't be far off that target, it will be an overhyped piece of bug-ridden junk....It will flop like the CD-i and 3DO purely because development nowadays is getting more and more expensive and these stupid people like the X-Box developers concentrate on making their games look goo graphically and leaving gameplay second!

But FM, come on, FM is really clever surely the crapness of the PS2 and X-Box and the inevitable success of the GBA and Gamecube can't have passed him!

Surprise!!
....Grix and FM are wrong mate, Nintendo already have the GBA and they will soon have the best console (out in Japan)......do you realise that the Gamecube is out in about 2 months in Japan, this will mean that Sony's lead will stop and X-Box will have to face two opponents in an uphill battle!

There's one real dipcrap on here that's claimed two Gamecube games for gameaday! I mean, how the hell can you judge what a games going to be like, when there aren't even PICTURES of it yet!
Apparently he's going to claim a THIRD one soon as well! What an idiot!

Who the hell need Square and Hideo when we have Rare and Shigsy....And PLUS Square might develop for the Gamecube and Konami have said that they will bring MGS 0/2/3 or whatever in 2002...
Almost everything is in favour of Nintendo.
