I've been reading through a load of issues of N64 Mag and other stuff and my own knmowledge of GameCube to make up a list of GameCubes bad points.

1. It's purple. T.V's are always black or silver. Not a nice combination.

2. The infrared controller without a wire, the one they call Wavebird is great to use, untilyour dog goes and sits right in front of the console!

3. It's too small. What do I fill the gap in my cabinet with?

4. err.....

5. hmmm...

Mind you, it needs all the help it can get at the moment. It's hasn't really taken off, to be honest.

Maybe so, Owl. It'll never sell well though.

What else is there? PlayStation Evolution? That's so cliché. The PS2 is good.

A very famous bloke once said that. You should listen to him.

they called it advance....they didnt call it Gameboy 3,4 5 or whatever. i suppose Sony might have tried a few names instead of "2" but maybe "2" just had the best ring to it. nothing against the name...just saying it was too easy. maybe the Playstation Advance?! no....Playstation X?..

That was a last boost to the sales of the PSone. It was intended for Japs only, as they like that sort of thing.

OK, take the GBA. The GBA has better graphics, same with PS2. The GBA is backwards compatable, same with PS2. The GBA bears no resemblance to the GBC, same with PS2.

Did they call it something different? No, because teh GameBoy brand wouldn't be their and the console wouldn't be as popular. It's the same with the PS2.

good point, but there again the Gameboy color was exactly the same as the normal gameboy except it was smaller and in color. similar in the psx--->psone thing.
