Don't get me wrong, I'm not biased and will almost certainly buy a 'Cube after my great Nintendo experience with the N64, I'm just getting a bit tired of everyone preaching about how amazingly brilliant it will be. Have they played it? Have they seen the games(properly, not a quick demo) Have they held the controller, and therefore give wise words about the ergonomics (I think thats the word) of it? I think not! They're just eating off the palms of the companies.
What I really hate is when people start slagging off current consoles - mainly the PS2 - in comparison to a console they haven't even seen with their own eyes. My main message is that it is essential that you wait until you've actually played a console before you start vouching for its superiority.
