ok, why dont microsoft just come out and say it, "what we really want the x box2 to be is, errrrrrrr basically a gamecube mrk2"
first of all they get nvidia to handle the graphics side of things (hmm now you'll remmber they currently produce the graphics engine for the gamecube)
secondly - they now go and get IBM to produce the CPU - (hmmm much like they currently do by way of the "flipper" CPU in the cube!0
now i realise they are probably impressed with the power the cube has in such a small space compared to their monstrosity of a brick, they probably realise that even though the xbox is apparantly super powerful, you cant actually tell the difference between the cube and xbox versions of most games, and if anything the graphics are brighter and not as washed out on the cube
so..........
why dont they just admit to basically wanting to recreate the cube as xbox ??

Untitled's stupidity is rubbing off on people! Hang on, that gives me an idea....
Yer this rubbish I think that it is some weirdo from gaycube is trying to make use go to the dark side of gaming. Well we have to say well done for trying but anyone who buys an xbox has really no chance of going to buy the gaycube.
Ok I quote "first of all they get nvidia to handle the graphics side of things hmm now you'll remember they currently produce the graphics engine for the gamecube" Ok we will just look at it sales of gaycubs to xbox to answer that one.
Secondly "they now go and get IBM to produce the CPU - (hmmm much like they currently do by way of the "flipper" CPU in the cube!0"
Well the fact is it might be made from the same company in the future but just because it is from the same company does not make it the same prosser does it. NO while you sitting there with your cube 2 as we are talking about everything the second it might have 800Mhz which is what the xbox currently has. But then knowing Microsoft who know how to make good consoles would put something in like 1.8Ghz
That weirdo also said "now I realise they are probably impressed with the power the cube has in such a small space compared to their monstrosity of a brick"
Well no were not impressed, maybe the 4 year old kid is that can't really tell what a good console is and by the age of 10 he will have an xbox. And as for the brick insult, where the hell do u get your bricks from. If you put the gaycube and the xbox in a fight I know which on will win.

Just you tell the pikeys that ok MATE

Sniper Rose, don't be a fanboy ass, there's nothing wrong with GameCube and sales prove nothing about the quality of gameplay (unless there are none at all).
Each console has its merits. The Xbox its hard disk and superior online play, the GameCube its quality first party exclusives and the fact it packs so much power into so small a space, and the PS2....er....erm....its non-symmetrical.
Its just unTITled that needs a good sorting out, and I vote Dark Mark does the honours.

Not that's comedy, referring to Gamecube as the darkside. So you're basically saying that Microsoft are the lightside? heh, I never though I'd see the day someone said that.
ok so instead of you homo1s saying things like "this is stupid" and "rubbish"
why not try to write somehting intelligent, these are the facts
gamecube -
CPU - IBM flipper
Graphics - ATI
X Box -
CPU - Intel
Grpahics - Nvidia
X BOX 2 -
CPU - IBM
Graphics - ATI
now see any resemblance between the cube and xbox 2???
yeah well inthink iv'e prooved my point, its called copying!!!

1 - well fact is, what makes a good console isnt dodgy poor quality dvd playback, ok, its good games , to which not even billy gates himself can argue that the xbox has better wuality games than the cube!
2 - all the awards that nintendo win are voted for by 4 yr olds are they???? so games tm anbd edge, ects and E3 are wrong are they?? and i think you'll find they outnumber microsoft by about 10 -1
3) - games console cant fight loser

I'm a Nintendo fan at heart. I normally buy GameCube versions of games if the Xbox versions don't have live capabilities purely because I prefer the GameCube and the GameCube's controller. However, I preferred Halo to Metroid Prime (don't give me any of that, 'It's not an FPS' crap) and I consider the DVD playback options a great bonus - after all, I wouldn't have a DVD player in my room otherwise.

I'm not sure why you included magazines/shows into the argument, but I do understand the point you're trying to make. In Japan, more adults have bought the GameCube over the Xbox. It all depends on peoples tastes, as the difference in sales between Europe and Japan have proven. Sales shouldn't be a deciding factor on which console is the best - after all, if they were, no one would be playing the Xbox, that's for certain.
> 3) - games console cant fight loser
Indeed.

Tetris Worlds - a whole new Live section has been included which allows vocal communications as well as online competing with anyone with the game and Xbox set up on Live in the world.

Untitled, were your parents related before they were married?
If by 'related' you mean 'of the same sex', then yes. They were.

You stupid ass, just because its by the same company dosnt mean they will be similar in any way. I'm sure microsoft had good reason to start a deal with IBM, maybe its over price, or just hardware. But trust me, the xbox 2 cpu will be completely different. Microsoft chose ATI over Nvidia as ATI are ahead of nVidia regarding pixel shader performance. Also I think Ps3 will use IBM too, oh my, they must be copying the gamecube!
From XBM on the subject of Xbox2 GPU:
"The chip will support the next generation of DirectX, likely to be called DirectX 10, and will use Samsung's GDDR2 SDRAM, which runs at 1600mhz"
