"Time For Another Console Debate Perhaps....."

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.

Mine isn't ver long actually, I had to go out. {:)

Anyway, I'd have to agree with Bonus, I think Sony have already won it.
They already have a huge user base, and with the broadband connection soon to be released, along with the PS2' biggest and best games (MGS2, GT3, Devil May Cry, Smackdown 3, etc), the PS2's future is looking very good.

The GameCube will be second. It's looking very good indeed, but the fact that it's bee delayed (and subject to even more maybe), is hanging over Nintendo's head.

The X-Box doesn't have much chance at all, really. They've made too many mistakes, including releasing 3 days after the GameCube. And for reasons that dismay me, lots of people hate Bill Gates. {:)

Sega?? We've yet to find out what they have for us console-wise, but at the moment they're doing well releasing games for the PS2 (yes!)

But really, who knows?? By this time next year Sony could be out of business, Nintendo could be doing very poorly, Sega might have suddenly brought out their new console and the X-Box might be the most successful console ever. *Ant shudders at the thought of this fantasy*

Well, that's my opinion anyway.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

PS- HIDEO KOJIMA RULES!!!

Er-no, I will take it you have played the game??? (still alive and biting in the soup!!!

And a department of Sony would mean it was SONY!!!! YES!!! RAGE!!!!!!

*Pokes er-no in the ear with a wooden spoon*

Did i say that? no. i was refering to the sh!tload of crap games on the psone. i hapen to be a huge fan of gran turismo and will buy a PS2 with GT3 when it goes down to £200.

Mircosoft are crap!
Sony are crap!

Who will take the bait.....

(stirring)

A department of Sony made the game, not Sony themselves.. and anyway whats the point of this, GT3 is overhyped and really bad....

Description: Formerly known as Polys Entertainment, an internal developer at SCEI - under that name, they developed the two Motor Toon Grand Prix racers for PlayStation. After the completion of their next project, the monumentally successful Gran Turismo, they were granted a greater degree of autonomy by SCEI and renamed Polyphony Digital. Under that name, they developed Omega Boost, Gran Turismo 2 (another astonishing success) and are currently working on Gran Turismo 3 A-spec for PlayStation 2. Led by Kazunori Yamauchi, director of GT. Considered one of the premier developers on PlayStation 2 and SCEI's greatest internal development asset.

This team is a part of Sony!!! Not someone Sony bought, but someone Sony started!!!!

So Formula 1 2001 and GT3 are 'third rate' games, are they??

Sony didn't make the game though.... thats just like saying
'if my dad owns shares in Nintendo, he made Mario 64'

Do You See?

Yuo do not understand, Polyphony digital is a department within SCEI!!!! They used to just be called SCEI, but they were given their own name when they made GT2!!

Just becasue sony own a company dont mean they have put sufficient effort into a game. Nintendo own a stake in Rare but rare are more than capable of producing quality games at thier own accord.
