i believe gamecube will lead the way in the console, this is down to innovation. ps2 may have already sold up to 20 million units by the time gamecube hits the shelves but the software that they have to offer is repetitive and 2nd class. gamecube is the epitimy of originality, pikmin is a prime example, Mr shigeru miyamoto is without doubt the greatest games developer of all time! As the gamecube also has a unique disc system it will also allow developers to create high quality games in minimal time. Ps2 however suffers from lack of inovation, it has stunning titles in GT3 and metal gear solid 2, but these will not hold up sony for ever. Xbox is just a plain flop. with no console experience they will drown, it mmay have the greatest spec of all 3 giants, but again it will suffer in the software department. it has not even begun shipping out development kits due to "console Problems.!" sega and namco will back my decison, as one of many 3rd party games developers who have signed up on the nintendo team sheet, with games like perfect dark 2, tekken 4 and piccasio to come , i know where my money lies!

Not likely, after being very disappointed with every Mario game I've played, and also-none of this Pikmin stuff is not to my taste. Nintendo are too cartoonie for me, too childish.

Also, have you played MGS2?? If not, you should, as it WILL be the best game ever.

Also, your opinion is just an opinion. It's down to taste, and in my opinion, the PS2 is easily the better choice.

I can't believe I'm console-warring with a JAT. :D

Heh, nice one Dan.

gtg now, but remember everyone, saying "PlayStation 2: The Third Place," in an Irish accent is not very funny at all.

have you actually played them, no i didnt think so, in which case your oppinion is just an oppinion , i played all of those titles they were astounding. at e3 last year rogue leader was game of the show, ok pikmin maybe a bit childish but smash bros is the greatest beatemup ever and the first 4 player of its kind. all the games i played were great and when you sample them im sure your view will change.

rougue leader-this does look superb.

luigis mansion-looks extraordinarily dull, in my opinion. It's not original either, Casper anyone? Ghostbusters?

pikmin-NOOOO!!!!

smash bros melee-2D backgrounds...eurgh.

wave race blue storm-dunno, but I'd much prefer MGS2 or Devil May Cry anyday. Or Red Faction, or ZOE, or GT3, or Smugglers Run, or Starfighter, or Extreme G3, the list goes on. {:)
