I would first like to point out that this is NOT a console wars topic, as you have to have at least two parties to have a war. No, this topic is to ask the simple question: Why is everyone getting so worked up about the Gamecube?
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.

it will be worth the wait becasue it will be that damn good.
I'm a nintendo fan and i have not had a new consal for 5 years since the 64 came out and I must admit I can not wait to play the GC, even if it does/does not match up to the x-box or ps2.
nintendo fans are so excited about the Gamecube becasue basically the N64 is near enough dead and not many more games are coming out for it. Apart from the GBA the GC is the only thing that can bring nintendo back to life.
Hmmm I guess either no one wants to talk about this or no one has seen it yet. Judging by how many people I have seen today it is probably the latter.
