I just don't think the X-Box will get all that much support...Sega maybe, but even money won't buy the help of Capcom and Konami...they have reputations to think of...We want games, there are enough cheapish DVD and CD plavers systems thingys in the world without adding them to something that should play games! Microsoft are going with the Irish...backwards...hence the Irish comment..(No offence)...

The Gamecube will deliver what people want, a cheapish console, great titles, purely for games a reliable system and lots of fun, what will microsoft bring, a few £1 Million lawyers and a case against Nintendo to say they aren't being fair...

The GBA is ace, the Gamecube will be, the X-Box is doomed for failure....and all because 'it is crap'...

Mini Questionnaire

1. What WILL be the most hated monstrosity in the world

A. The Statue of Liberty
B. The Gardens of Babylon
C. The Heap of 100 Million X-Box's in Bill Gates' back garden.

2. Who Likes Bill Gates

A. His Mother
B. His Computer
c. Lula the Virtual Babe that he has re-coded to perform his wildest fantasies

(Clue: None of the Above)

3. What do the X-Box and Sprouts have in common...

A. They Look Bad
B. They damage the image of that which they are associated with.
C. They Taste Bad....Well what else are you going to do with your bug ridden piece of crap you call an X-Box?!

Did I in anyway infer the opinion that the Gamecube would be a kiddy's console? I think not.

Except for Rare and Nintendo games.

Yeah... I need to convince a friend to buy an X-Box...

Perhaps I'll set FM loose on him... ...or... perhaps... not...

Sorry, but sprouts ARE bad, I've got to concur with The Game on that one.

Almost as bad as chewing a Pokeball, but not quite.

Be careful with the sprout man, its great and mysic power is legendary and can cause untold ill to those who misuse its name

I look at it this way -

As games players we're the ones who are going to benefit from whatever wars go on between rival games companies. Competition only enhances the quality of games we'll be playing, and that's never a bad thing.

For anyone who has a friend with a rival console, we just cannot lose.

As long as you have a few friends likely to buy the latest games consoles, we'll be able to play the best games of the next few years.
