Yep, lately there have been many arguments over this, and we all know Cube is better than Xbox. If the world had sense there would be no PS2 and XBOX, but there is. So use this thread to destroy the XBOX enemy, and also use it for any Ninty related gossip you have on your chest when the enemy run off. Let World War III begin.

All hail Shvigsy, Ya!!!!

The fact that Gamecube doesn't cater for online gaming is quite annoying, but for most people who just play single player games alone in the deep, dark shadows of their room don't mind.

What most people aregue about is that the Gamecube doesn't cater for teenagers. Vice City on PS2 and Halo on the Xbox are perfect examples of teenage fun. Its a shame Nintendo haven't come up with a real groundbraking series. (apart from Mario) It would be nice if Nintendo had Mario and...another title. For example Ps2 is famous for lots of games e.g Pro Evolutions Soccer, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts.

When you think of Nintendo, only Mario springs to mind. No offence to Ninty there by the way.

Wait a minute, consider this strange concept. You post on a Nintendo forum saying it's all for little babies, and everyone tells you it isn't.

But wait! The people that reply are mostly 16+, making them not kids.


OMG"!!"!"!"!! could that mean that there are more older gamers owning Nintendo stuff than little kids!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I agree. Mario is the only Nintendo series that is groundbreaking.

When you think of Microsoft, only Halo springs to mind, when you think of Sony, only GTA springs to mind.

Your point?

Final Fantasy I & II coming to Game Boy Advance.
Final Fantasy Tactics is on the Game Boy Advance.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is on GameCube and is coming to Nintendo DS.

Final Fantasy is just as exclusive to Sony as it is Nintendo now.

Are you guys not fed up of this agruement yet??

The Xbox has better hardware than the Gamecube, no arguement about it either.

Whether you prefer one systems games to another is again a personal preference.

Just remember, most Xbox owners love Halo, Xbox Live, the best game on the other two platforms and many other games you guys rae ignoring.

Doom 3, Championship Manager, Chronicals of Riddick, Full spectrum Warrior, Project Gotham 2, and the list can go on forever.

Stop knocking something you guys no nothing about and stick to playing with your computerised cartoon characters ;)
