Sorry to be so truthful. But being realistic, the Console wars is over before the damn thing has even begun!
Nintendo Gamecube of course is dominating the news without even showing anything officially, which is saying something.
And what have we to look forward to for the X-BOX and PS2, apart from HALO, GT3, Metal Gear 2?????
Boring stuff indeed!

Hurrah, sounds exciting...but which machine will have the killer games and win the war! Its good news for Nintendo...because even though Microsoft will no doubt chuck money at the advertising it wont do them any good. With the two machines being released so close to each other, magazines will critically review both, and customers will be forced to choose based on the quality of games available.

The best supported console will win.

Me laugh.

Microsoft announce a launch of 8th November.

Later Nintendo announce a launch of 5th November.

All in US, of course, but should be a fun week over there!

As soon as MS make a proper anouncement, they'll be back in the game.

That's true. Microsoft need to pick up the pace.

Ant, I think you'll find that there's a bigger difference between the Gamecube and PS2 than there is between the DC and the PS2 (which probably isn't saying much :-D)

As for what Morrigan said. The Wars aren't won. Just because the Gamecube is the best, that doesn't mean that everyones going to buy it.

It looks promising but it's not over yet!

As someone said, it will be the games that decide the fate of the Console wars. Ultimately it is the gamres that will keep afloat or sink a console, and the PS2 and GC both look good on this side.

As you said, the gamecube will dominate, as it is a new release, but wheres the X-Box? Is that not a new release too? It just goes to show that the X-Box is being sunk by Nintendos popularity. Period.

And what do you expect?!?!? The GC is the new Nintendo console, of course it's gonna be all over the bloody news!!!

Sorry about the language guys, but messages like this saying console wars is over really annoy me.
