It isn't that Nintendo are better than Sony or Microsoft (although in my mind they are), but they are excellent show men. Did you see that Mario fountain at Spaceworld, the Pikachu car, The Gamecube unveiling, everytime a gaming event comes around it is Nintendo that hit the headlines!
Using Spaceworld is a little unfair but it is Nintendo only but E3 was to be a Gamecube bonanza and more infomation about the X-box than ever before! So I expected it to be Microsofts big event! But Starfox adventures and Super Smash brothers is what everyone is making a fuss over!
So Nintendo do have the capabilities to advertise their products better than even Sony! If Nintendo can make a show of their products all the time then maybe it will be Nintendo sitting on top of the gaming market!

However profit earned from these PS2's was spent reparing them because there were loads of faulty ones.
Infact Sony spent over £121,000,000 on the UK alone!
So the early release ment that there wasn't quality control, the PS2's were sent back and some didn't get replacements for a couple months!

Not true in the slightest, the sales of the PS2 are recorded from when the console was paid in full and delivery of the console had been recieved, getting one over the counter counts as a delivery. The pre-order scheme was put in place so that there was no chance of people queuing for hours to be told sorry we've none left and it avoided the riots which were seen in Paris. Since Nov 24 2000 the PS2 sold roughly 3,000,000 million in Europe alone.

Actually there was a preordering system in this country (I don't know about the rest of the world) which means that you've actually bought the PS2 before release day. It's like a 'buy now pay later' scheme unless you paid for the whole console in your deposit.
Which means that the PS2 sold before it's release daye which means that it hasn't been the fastest selling console ever on release day. Unless you mean it sold all it's units but there weren't many available on release!

You lie through your teeth. The PS2 has been the fastest selling console ever in every territory on its release day. Tell me why that isn't success.

It's true! I read it on quite a few sites and a few magazines!

This newbie who calls him/herself Kid Rock is not a professional gamer!
The Gameboy advance does not have crap graphics! This is a handheld we're talking about!
The Gameboy Advance has a 32bit processor and has the technology to play games which are a bit better than Snes quality.
Kid Rock, have you ever felt how heavy the Zelda carts for the N64 are compared to the other N64 games? They contain more hardware because they are bigger games.
Try fitting 64-bit/128-bit (gamecube power) into something half the physical size of a Gameboy cart. It isn't currently possible!
Also if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that the SNES was one of the most popular consoles of all time! Therefore to have that console in the palm of your hands is pretty cool!

Handheld snes, what are you on about kid rock, everyone knows that it is not called that.
Why would people wnat to buy it you say, well because you will have the power of the PSone in your hands, while your travelling in your car or just sitting in your house you will be able to play another great innovation created by nintendo based around the best selling console (the gameboy)

Japan is different to america!
GBA is a handheld console Kidrock do you know what your talking about! Gameplay not graphics is what makes a game stop sprouting your mouth about something you clearley know little about!
The GBA is stunning for a hand held console, Decent graphics (yes 3D is possible but works differently) You seen alone in the dark on the GBC well if the GBC can do that then imagine the possibilities of the GBA!
