Who is the king of the consoles, who is the bore of the lot. Well I have evaluated every console in my opinion; taking in no-one else’s opinions, just mine. So here goes:

Dreamcast...
Many people will class Dreamcast as a failure and a waste of good white plastic. The people that say this do not own a DC. Anyone that owns a DC with brilliant games like NBA 2k, Jet Set Radio and Shenmue will say that the DC is the best thing since slice bread.
I have a DC with brilliant games and you may call me biased but the DC is not a failure, it gave me quality gaming memories and still has a lot to come with games like Shenmue 2 and Headhunter coming out quite soon.
We have to be fair to the Dreamcast, as it did start this entire Next Generation thing off. And it was a first so no one had anything to compare it too. PS2, Xbox and Gcube all had/have an advantage as they've all seen a next generation console in action...

Conclusion: With the DC's short life it did very well and many people got hours of joy out of the lil' white box.
The DC still has games to come and anyone selling there DC should hang there heads in shame with Traitor written across there fore-head.

PS2:
We all looked forward to this console, staring at it in amazement watching such launch games as Ridge Racer and Tekken Tag. But when it finally came out in this country it was a big failure and has to be the worst launch I’ve ever seen for any console! With only a few in England on its launch and being priced at a massive £300 it was not a success at first.
But now the PS2 is on track producing brilliant games and boasting stunning graphics. With much more in the country and the price dropping more people are getting the PS2 and being happy with its quality graphics, game play and games!

Conclusion: The well respected Sony and PS2 are bound to do well, when the price drops to around £200 the PS2 will be selling like hot cakes.

PSX/ PS1:
This has to be classed as the best and most successful console no matter what anyone say's the PSX was a great hit and should never be forgotten sparking off a new era of gaming. With a long lifespan the PSX is still going, selling well. With quality games dropping since the release of PS2 good games are still coming out. Any fanactic gamer should have this grey box. If you bought your PSX around the launch date you might find it having a few problems, with games all ways crashing. This is why we have the tiny PS1. To replace the PSX, with the LCD screen this good be a great transport game by plugging it in your car (make sure you don't run down your car's battery)!
Conclusion: The PSX has to be classed as the best console, with it's graphics looking a bit dated now it still boasts brilliant game play with class games still coming out. The PSX will eventually go to Gamers Heaven, like consoles such as SNES, Mega Drive and Saturn. Lets just enjoy it why we can. :)

Gcube: With the Gcube looking up to expectations it looks like the Gcube will be a big success. With a stunning display at E3 we can expect a lot from are multicoloured friend.
With stunning graphics, especially that Luigi game, it looks brilliant.
I can't wait for it to come out and show the world what Nintendo can do this time.
With Technology that GBA can connect up to the Gcube and be an extra console controller it's going to be good.
The Gcube is said to be mostly for little kids. With it's bright colours and Mario, but let's see what Nintendo have up there sleeve.
Conclusion: The Gcube is going to be great successes with many people buying at launch being priced around £200 it is a reasonable offer.

Xbox:
I don’t know much about Xbox, I only know the bad news about it, as the old saying goes... Bad news travels faster then good.
I don't think it will sell quite as many as Gcube and PS2. With it being made by one of the most hated man on the earth (Bill Gates) and being the size of a Video recorder it doesn't look good for Xbox.
Conclusion: This is Microsoft’s first console, many people not liking it as it is to much like a PC i don’t think it will sell to much.

Well there you go, the list of the consoles. On what’s hot and what’s not, remember. This is my opinion, no one else’s. So don't have a go at me if I'm wrong in your eyes :)

Next Generation Console
Conclusion: Sony rules the world, Nintendo are about to rule the world, and Microsoft better pull there sleeves up if they want to do something about it!

I won't be getting an X-Box. I've just realised a horrible thought. I will have to buy the GameCube on my own. I won't be able to split the price with my brother like I did with the N64. The GC is released early next year right, but a few months after that, my brother will be off to university. He wants to take the GC with him and there is no way I am letting him buy it, so that he is playing on it all the time and then he takes it off to university with him. So basically, I will have to buy my own. I have the money, it's just the thought that there will be 2 GCs in my house and only one of them being played for the first half a year or so. The very definition of pointless.

I agree that Nintendo are favorites to win the next generation console war. I thik that the DC deserved to do better but as Vottanator said " deserves has nothing to do with it " and basically it comes down to marketing and hype. Sony have had a hit with the PS and I do not want them repeating that success with the PS2 because it will make gaming to boring if they do. Also it would make Sony to powerful. I want the X-box to do well as I do not actually hate Microsoft that much. The X-box is going to be the most powerful console around so it should be quite good. Nintendo have the customer base though. The X-box will have to get potential PS2 owners to make it big. If they advertise enough they might just pull it off. But even if MS do make a loss on the X-box over its lifespan then it might be a loss well worth it if it prevents Sony from getting stronger. I think that we should support MS and all get an X-box because it is brave of MS to enter the console market like this. I hope that they succeed. Sony have to be brought down a peg or two.

With Game now a female, Turbo sitting next to him with anger in his eyes, Vottanator lying on the floor so close to death, his partner lying near him already dead, Votta's body at Bill Gates' feet and Bill Gates the only one standing.

Turbo cannot take this. With the only people in the world who can stop Bill Gates now dead (namely the people above - excluding Votta of course) he now has the power to take over the world and........Sony. "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" screams Turbo as he jumps to his feet. He runs towards Billy with a furious ferociosness in his face. He leaps at him but in mid air, Billy's god damn body guards take out their ridiculously large shotguns and fire simultaneously at Turbo. He hits the floor at Billy's feet, right next to Votta. Billy takes a shotgun from one of his bodyguards and holds it to Turbo's face. Turbo whimpers and quietly says, "I don't deserve this." The Gates man replies with, "Deserves got nothing to do with it." BANG! The shot rings loudly in Game's ear and realising that he is probably the next to die, he decides to lose his dignity and save his own life. He begs Billy to spare him. He begs Bill Gates. "Please" he whimpers, "Please, spare me. I'm pathetic."

(I think i've written enough so I'll leave it to somebody else to decide what happens)

"Noooooooo!" Screams Vottanator's partner, and turns the gun on himself in despair. His eyes are welling up with tears as the bullet enters his cranium leaving death and destruction in its wake.

Bill Gates walks over to inspect what's going on. He smiles.

Standing behing Votta is Vottanator's partner (yes it's true, I do have a partner - this is my business partner though). Vottanator's partner says, "What is the average velocity of this bullet as it exits the barrel" and then he fires. Votta hits the floor with a satisfying thud although it was too late. Vottanator is lying on the floor with blood pouring from the open wound in his head. His eyes lifeless, his head only half there.

*Vottanator hears a voice

"Dodge this!"

Vottanator looks round to see a gun pointing squarely at his head. On the other end of the gun is Votta. Coming out of the gun is a bullet, at great velocity.

"Oh fu-"*

*Vottanator is too terrified to move. Shock horror covers his face as he watches Turbo perform the so called, operation.*

*Turbonutter grabs The Games foot and twists in 270 degrees crippling him. TN picks up the nearest Xbox and repeatedly smashes The Game of the head with it until he is nearly dead. Turbonutter then proceeds to perform a sex change "operation" on The Game with his foot*
