yo people! i warn u to buy gamecube as it is no good! today it released in Japan and only attracting a fraction of the queue of Final Fantasy X, therefore it is not even proven to be a success! with its poor luanch titles, only 3 that is, the future of it doesnt look very bright!

Nintendo has rushed its 128bit console and rememmber folks, rushing never succeeds, a perfect example is Dreamcast!!!!!!!

The future on excellent gaming entertainment is on PS2! it has wide support from developers and huge games library with and its hardware with huge potential. If u dont own a PS2 then u dont have a good life! I advise u people to go to Special Reserve and buy one of those excellent PS2 bundles!

NOW BEFORE ITS TOOOOOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhr

The Dreamcast was good, only no one gave it a chance.

I seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick a lot lately.

Anyway, the Gamecube does look like a good console, and it's sales may be affected by what has gone lately.

It is such a tragedy.

Hold on bucko. I was not directing it at you, I agree with your post and I was arguing against the posters who like to defame the Gamecube on sales with the events of the week.

Sorry mate, dont take it personally, on a rampage.

Was he praising it? I thought he was saying how good

Sorry, I was talking about the replies, but saying that, he was saying that the Gamecube was no good, which he can't really say until he has actually played.

Before I say that a console is not very good, I play it first, and then make my decision on whether it is good or not.

What are you talking about? I will always be taking that into account. All I was saying that people are arguing over a console that isn't even out over here yet. What happened on Tuesday will certainly have an effect on GC sales, how much I am not sure?

And please don't say that I am blind to what has happened? That is not very fair.

I am not siding... only argueing the facts, and when people dont take into consideration the impact of Tuesday on the whole of the world (including the GC sale) I pity them... blind people.

Rushing??????

The PS2 was rushed. The GC has been in development for ages and has been perfected for playing games.

The PS2 is like a discription of a fax machine by grandpa in the simpsons..

"its just a toaster with a phone attached"

Bacisicly a gimmick.

Somthing that can boast alot but has no use in todays modern society.
