But this time, you're not allowed to use the letter 'a'.

Who wants to kick off the discussion?

I like to shoot my brothers in Goldeneye (Argh! You can't use plAy, multiplAyer or gAme!).

Nintendo is good with fights between 4 people, possibly more in internet.

There is Pikmin too which is super fun.

I think that Nintendo is best for me but boring people don't like their style.

This is tricky...

You only found 3 of them Meka.

There's one more still to find!

To me, Nintendo look strong. Pikmin looks good, very different to other Nintendo offerings.

Silicon Knights will produce some superb titles for the older people.

The producers of Goldeneye will bring some well thought out, fun titles too.

Metroid could be very good indeed, once the problems get sorted with the developers.

I concede you're corret with the PS2 predictions.

My own feeling is there is enough room in the shop for all of them.

Sony own the biggest portion of prospective buyers, but there is room for the other two. Some people will possibly own more than one piece of hardware.

I own one PS2, with the thinking of buying one GC as well. I suspect numbers of people concord with this view.

The XBox is the big unknwon. This could work out well, as it did with the PSX.

Sony's little wonder is frequently criticised for it's poor selection of titles, but it will succeed due to following in the footsteps of the PSX.

Nintendo's cube could be the one with the trendsetting titles, but Nintendo need to improve their PR or risk losing yet more ground to Sony. I'm not confident of their success.

X-box is powerful, with strong support. If the controller isn't terrible (like we're led to believe) then it'll do good.

The PS2, been 'bout for little while now, sold well. Good pictures on screen, ok sound, DVD jobby to boot.

GC not out yet. Looking good though. Lots of titles with the little plumber, no doubt. Little console in itself, is this good? Bright colours.

XBox, good support from the people who thought of Sonic. So good, fun titles will be 'bout. Lots of sports titles, by the look of things.
