So what if the Gamecube is here! I mean there were goung-breaking games on the N64 PSX and other platforms that couldn't even compare to the power of the Gamecube!...
You may drool over the graphics but every single one of the games on the Gamecube Game List wil get boring, eventually...how many of you actually bothered to complete Zelda for the 7th time?...even classics fade!!!!!
Okay, so like many of you I will be getting a Gamecube, and like many of you I WILL be happy with the games..., but we haven't seen what Microsoft have to say yet, and there is no way, that despite the Gamecubes inevitable success, the PS2 can be ignored...GT3 anyone, okay so it might not have stirred up as much of a buzz as Zelda or Metroid Prime but it is still a very good asset for Sony, and if at christmas you can get a PS2 with MGS2 and GT3: A Spec for about £250 or just a Gamecube with 'limited' release games for just a bit less at £200 with the high volume of games, (and probably by then, broadband internet play) who is to say that Nintendo's Gamecube will have any chance at all....
Image is another thing....Pants to what David Gosen or Peter Main says, if people who are quite self conscious are seen with a Gamecube then if they can't take the stick of having a 'Kiddie' console, regardless of the mature games, they wont buy it.
I love Nintendo, like many people I always have. And, by the looks of things, Nintendo's GAMECUBE could be the best console yet...Disc Based - No Loading times, something's gotta give and I have a feeling it will be Daddy's wallet!
But as I said, there is no way that despite the Nintendo hype and buzz that either of the other two competitors can be counted out...
Sony - Big user base...
Microsoft - Lots of Green...
You think with two mainstream companies such as these, that they are gonna let Nintendo laugh all the way to the bank?! NO SIREE.
I can't really see a game on the 'GC List' that doesn't appeal to me, I like most games...even Pokémon ones but, as with EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE, bad games will come, but that isn't anything to worry your purple hearts about, if no games were bad, how would we determine the good ones!?
All in all I am please wih the way Nintendo have set off, I like the launch titles and the Gamecube, for me couldn't come soon enough, we still have the news of a GBA GC link up to hear about!
But like I said, if you have your heart set on a PS2, don't let all the Nintendo hype stop you getting one...the PS2 and Gamecube will be entirely different...There will no doubt be many AAA titles on the PS2 between now and when it fades, so don't be put off by the fancy games that Nintendo were always going to show...If you want a Playstation 2 to experience games like MGS2 and GT3, then you buy it...who is anyone to stop you?!
Even with games like DKR, Metroid and ZELDA, a part of me wants MGS2 so badly...I envy you PS2 owners!
Now then, are you going to miss out on a game like MGS2 to see a 4'5 plumber run around a haunted mansion like a headless chicken, sucking up ghosts in a vacuum cleaner?!
If your heart is set on a Playstation 2, I would get one, if I were you...but hey...it's your choice...
Thanks for Reading, and think about it!

And with the Xbox, there is just no loading!! hehehe
No loading times. *khazar faints but instinctively falls on his lazy dog to avoid pain*
What they do is they spin the disk really really fast so all the information is quickly loaded.
If you had watched the show yesterday, Turbonutter, you would have seen with your own eyes, that there are NO LOADING TIMES on the Gamecube.
I had something else to say, can't remember what it is. Ah well.
