"Why the Gamecube could fail."

I have been a nintendo fan for all of my gaming life, but it brings me to tears to say that it is a relationship that could soon be coming to an end. The reason for this is the Gamecube. Ok the gamecube sounds like a good idea and probably would have been if it was released around the same time as tthe ps2 and not in the spring of 2002. In spring 2002 the ps2 will have probably have fallen in price, will have a vast selection of software available to choose from and in my opinion will be firmly placed as the people's fav next gen console. Also by Spring of 2002 there will probably be rumors of ps3 being developed, thus making the Gamecube sales go down. It seems to me that nintendo are and could always be one step behind playstaion. For nintendo to get one step in front and rule the console market again as they used to, i think they should dump the gamecube idea and start work on a 256bit console. If they keep on going at the rate they are now and keep on bring their consoles out after sony and the rest of the competition then they will never again rule the console market.

What are your views? what next gen console would you buy out of the ones that will be available when Gamecube is released? what next gen console will dominate the market? try to show me the light, try to guide me bakc to nintendo heaven please.

Don't the games come into view?

So if a console sells more than another console it means it has "won"?

A lot of places say the PSone won. It sold a helluva lot more.

I suppose its a matter of opinion and taste really, every one has the right to say and think as they like.

P.S I'm not having a go at you or anything.

Yeah, it's interesting that. Everyone says Nintendo have better games but from the PSone vs N64 thing the PSone won, so it obviously has better games.

Food for thought.

Yeah i see what you mean. Its not always the power of the consoles, a lot of a consoles success will lie in the quality and playablity of the games that are released on it.

Going straight to 256bit is a bad idea. They did this with the 64 and look what happened.
