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!

it is a fact that there are many complaints over thex box development kits so many have been recalled to alter. they are apparentlt "too difficult to operate."

He's got a bit to learn (like opposing consoles aren't half as bad as Nintendo magazines make out) but I think that he has potential to become an intelligent regular.

Just remember your grammar :-)

It hasn't been launched yet. Your synopsis of the success of the X-Box is a little premature.

Deja Vu here, were you a Saturn owner around the time of the Sony Playstation launch by any chance? Saturn/Nintendo owners all said exactly the same thing about Sony when they launched the Playstation.

Development kits were shipped months ago, hence why there are currently over 100 games in development for the X-Box.

Is that the same sega and namco that are developing games for the X-Box?

PS2 however, suffers from lack of innovation. It has stunning titles in GT3 and Metal Gear Solid 2, but these will not hold up Sony forever.

It's a while since we've had a decent console wars topic. I'm starting to miss them ;)

So.. my contribution to this one is to attempt to punctuate Mr Jag's post, so it reads nicely for the rest of you:

GameCube is the epitomy 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 innovation. It has stunning titles in GT3 and Metal Gear Solid 2, but these will not hold up Sor ever.

Xbox is just a plain flop. With no console experience, Microsoft will drown. It may 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 some of the many 3rd party games developers to 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!
