Would you rather play Metal Gear Solid Two or Mario 128??
These will undoubtedly be the biggest games on the PS2 and GC within the near future and I do really think that people should buy their next console dependent upon the answer of that single question. The reason being that most of the good games will be in a similar vin to these two on each console. On the PS2 we will have Silent Hill two and Devil May Cry, on the Gamecube Star Fox adventure and Donkey Kong Racing. That is the way the consoles are going. The reason Nintendo can put the Xbox out of the market is because they are aiming at a different market, the reason the PS2 will beat the Xbox, is that it already has the market which the Xbox wants!!
So if you haven't already answered the question, take another look, MGS2 or Mario. Ignore all the disussions about hardware, the specs are set in stone and cannot be changed now, the games will decide the fate of these two superpowers.
If you have answered the question post your answer and say why you feel that you would prefer one to the other and lets end this big fight once and for all. It will more than likely be evident that the Games industry has grown to a size which cansupport two major platforms, two niche markets. The cuddly cartoon world of Nintendo and the Dark fantasies on the PS2, thats basically it, which do YOU prefer, A or B, Black or White??
Stop the bickering and understand, if you want different things, you can work together to get different things!!

Yes, it is childish.
Never mind, I'm sure you'll enjoy your LAMECUBE.
These consoles are aimed at two different niches in the market, if you can't see that then you aren;t understanding why Nintendo and Sony aren't attacking each other but Microsoft, because they both feel that MS want a piece of their market!! Nothing to do with hardware but the type of people buying the games and the type of games they are buying.
