Nintendo are big so why do they create so small? Come on there must be something wrong if Microsoft can makes something so big only Bill Gates himself can fit it in his mansion come on look at the reacent and still to be released Nintendo stuff.

The GBA it is bigger than the GBC but you could of fooled me it is so tiny but look at the carts! I'm afraid i will lose it in my pocket and as Will Smith once said "can you hold this i'm afraid i might break it".

Look at the Gamecube! About the same size of 10 stacked up CD's, that is about the same size of my alarm clock! Nintendo like portable stuff especially with the handle but a home console that doesn't even come close to the huge size of the PS2 and X-box.

It is taller (only a bit) I know but it is still tiny. And don't say it is because of DVD the Gamecube DVD is just a little taller than the Gamecube! Proof Bigger isn't better and ood things come in small packages!

Is something this small capable of doing something so good, of course it is! And what effect does this have on the individual sales well the Japs love small things that is why they have already (basically) rejected the X-box!

I can no longer wait for the GC but when I get it
I will be worried i'm going to lose it in my pile of games and magazines.

Here's to a future of small things.

if we are going to be all correct here then I should point out the GC is 6"long, ^"wide and only 4.3"tall so it shouldn't really be called a cube, but hey nobody really cares about that anyway.

The GC is 2656.5cm³

The PS2 is 4179.084cm³

OK, the PS2 is larger but it does take up less floor area.

Remember the PS2 has an expansion bay at the back, so it could be alot smaller too.

He is implying that the GC is better, even though it's smaller.

By the way, I think the GC and PS2 have the same volume, but I'll check that.
