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!

NOT hard at all. I have either suggested or helped out with 4 topic ideas of which THREE have won a game - not by me I might add. Spider - I set you a challenge, and you accepted it, but didn't actually do it - thus TW beat you and won a game. He did very well in that post.

"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 all of those games, and to be honest sliced bread wasn't much of a revelation.
Great post Spider II!!! (Well - it's practically the same as the other ones, just better - so well done for continually posting the same post BUT improving it. Seriously)
Err - weren't you the one who was telling everyone that you had had enough and were going to sell your DC, and now have changed your mind? Yes you were. But at least you changed your mind, so you need not hang your head in shame Mr exchatroom.
Get a GBA.

Exactly Bonus!
STOP pasting console wars topics with these awful comments, you all sound the same!!
This is my first topic on Prime! I have wrote 2 topics in about 2 weeks, I've cut my topic posting down. Anyway, do you know how hard it is to find a new 'good' topic that isn't already done!
Yeah, there's always a new topic from Spidey. I'm not saying that they're all bad as I rather enjoy reading some of them. But a lot of them are all the same which makes it very boring.
How do I post so many topics, i've postedv about 2 in 2 weeks, one by accident which makes three.
Just comment on the topic at hand, I havn't got time for your imature remarks!
