Simple, isn't it...

GAME-Cube... Game.... Cube... THE GAME... cube...

With a name like that it's bound to be quality! And I mean just imagine, all the best Nintendo games with perfect graphics, more excellent gameplay WITH the occasional FMV...

The games are coming from 3rd parties as well and even Dragon Warrior might be coming... oh joy!

The games may well be great but I think it's all in the name!

The Game.................... Cube

So do I, but it's funny when they all go quiet after the console they've been going on about for so long gets released. (Lo all you PS2 owners :-)).

Unless you're a fan of the X-Box, in which case, on specs alone you KNOW it's going to be the one....

Ok so

Very true, but if someone says to me "X-Box is going to have all your favourite developers making games for it, Gamecube isn't, and it's made by Nintendo who's games you have never liked anyway..." then I can make a good guess at which console I'm going to be buying in the future.

PS2 games taking more interest than the GameCube games!
The N64 is still alive the games are still great to play, never mind about the graphics.

Does the console war topic seem to appear in every forum. I find it hard how people can comment on this topic since only one of the three consoles has actually been released.

We can all say which one we will buy and what games sound good but until all three are available to buy then nobody can really say which is best. Ok so maybee some have seen previews of whats to come (Microsoft faked some of their early images) and alot of it looks great but until you have actually sat down and played the game you can't really voice your opinion on it.

I can remeber all of this excitement regarding a little black box called the N64, where is that now?? Anyway the upcoming games for the PS2 seem to do more for my own interest at the moment than the Gamecube games, maybe when I hit a mid-life crisis and want to recapture my youth, though??

You were changing your name making it available to anyone that wanted it, so I took it to prove how silly you are being...
