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.

Nintendo are so damn childish! All their games suck, because they all have this stupid bright colour thing!
If they only made one decent game, I might bother investing in it!

There are 5 colour or more Grix....and plus about the controller....Nintendo work until the last possible date to get things right, just as they did with mario 64.....The controller is bound to keep the original shape, they will merely have an N64-esque start button instead of that ball-type one....
The Gamecube will be good, the games will be there....the more 'fancy'bits you put on a Console the more they are bound to be faulty....Nintendo only have to get the games playing thing right, Sony and MS have/will have to worry about compatability, space, power....The Gamecube parts will all work together to provide the BEST gaming experience to date...Sony and Microsoft will end up linking the controller to the sound outpur....wow on the new sony console you can't play games or anything but you can bend the pitch and alter the speed of the tempo...Pah!

WELL DONE THE GAME!!! You see what I see. PSone and PS2 are ABSOLUTE SHITEE, as you put it. Sony HAVE NOT done anything for the games industry, only damaged it.
Would you praise someone for dropping a nuclear bomb on a town that has provided happiness to people for ages?

But the topic is "Sony vs Nintendo" Not "Which one do you need!
Nintendo made the original Playstation, they have invented new technology to make games better and more fun (Gamecube disks, GBA-32bit in your hands, smaller carts, etc)
Sony however copied the Rumble, the controller itself (exactly the same as the SNES one), the analogue stick (Nintendo was the first major company to have one on a controller) and much more!

It's PURPLE for crying out loud.
(On a more serious note, Nintendo confirmed five days ago that the controller we've seen is not the controller that is going to be used with the Gamecube, as they've made some "adjustments". It'll be interesting to see.)

BLOODY HELL, get with the program. Just because they are small doesn't mean that they don't hold much data. They actually hold more than Dreamcast GD-ROMS. Nothing wrong with that!
