Okay, many people have said that 'console wars' is old, but, it creates the best topics as well!!

So, I would just like perhaps like to start another one. Post your arguments on here about why you think your chosen console or consoles, will win the console wars.

I'll post mine later, so get arguing!

Thanks for reading, Ant.

The game boy advance will do very well but it is too early to say who will win and lose between the PS2, gamecube and xbox.

I hope they are all great because it is better for all of us who own them.

"Humm, well I'd have MGS instead of Goldeneye anyday"


Look Metal Gear Solid is a great game it provided me with 8 hours of immense fun, however after that it was history.

In contrast Goldeneye has provided me and my friends with years of fun filled Bond action. Ild take Goldeneye over MetalGearSolid anyday.

That's because Ant has no friends to play Goldeneye with! ;-D

(For those of you who didn't see the smiley face - I'M JOKING!)

As for the classic N64 vs PS argument, I'd say that PS has a slight edge in one player but is miles behind the N64 in muliplayer.

So if you have brothers to play against then the N64 is far better then the playstation.
Although without the multiplayer, Playstation's wide range of huge adventure games out match (even if only by quantity rather then quality) the N64's bunch of 1 player.

Then there's the DC which has a lovely balance of both.

Humm, well I'd have MGS instead of Goldeneye anyday.

Also, Smackdown 2 is a rather huge laugh on 4-player.

Ild say that the best multiplayer games are on the N64, although Ild say that the Playstation has the best 1 player games.

I have not seen a single game that gives more fun for four people on any console, so Sony can put that in their 4 million pixel, 128 bit pipe and smoke it!

I will say only one thing on this topic:

It's not possible for one console to win. And equally there's no no bad taste or good taste. If somene chose a PS2 instead of a GameCube it doesn't mean that they have bad taste, becuase there is NO SUCH THING as bad taste. Just different taste.

That's all I've got to say on this matter... for now anyway...
