It is just me or is the Game cube and Nintendo as we know it going to be crushed by the X-Box. There is no hope in hell that it could compete. For years Nintendo has been producing consoles. Starting with the NES all the way to the Gamecube with Gamboys on the way. Their only fault is their quality of games. What's with all the cartoon game like Pokemon and Zelda. Nearly every game that is popular on the Nintendo has been cartoonified. Are computer cartoons taking over consoles?
This is where the X-Box takes over. Microsoft have no worry in launching their first console. Most of the games that will be released on the launch date has been released before on the PC and Playstation and have done well. The Playstation 2 managed to keep the cartoons away but it doesn't quite do it for me.
I have had and N64 since it first came out and through my time with it, i've found it quite hard to find a game with good, serious graphics. I want my game heroes to have names like Terminator and Razor. Not Pikachu and Conker. It's just like childrens TV nowadays too! Do you remember when you were little and you had your favourite cartoons. I remember MASK, Thundercats and He-Man. They all has giant robots, bad guys, fast cars and guns! What do they have nowadays? Furry little fluffballs with silly names. That includes the Teletubbies however cool Dipsie is! Erm...anyway if the Game Cubes is all cartoons and classic labels, I don't want to know about it.
New gaming ideas, less cartoonified games and violent children's TV programs is the idea that i leave you with. So if the Game Cube does turn out like every other Nintendo console, i advise you to "say no to Nintendo". I won't even mention Dreamcast but buy an X-Box!

You are awfully confident. My advice. Don't be! Microsoft won't do well in Japan at all.
Gamecube is going to be way better than the X-box

I agree, the Japanese will steer well clear of the Xbox, mainly becuase it's American, whereas other consoles are Japanese, meaning cheaper, and more games for the japanese market!

Well, if it has bad sales, developers will drop it, and it'll be a bad console! Simple!

The only thing the X Box is gonna crush is its owner, cause its so big and hideous. Nintendo have got nothing to fear from the X Box point of view, im sure it is a great machine with some splendid games, but its aiming for the same market as the PS2, it really has no chance against Sonys now cheaper, better looking machine.
So yes I think it is just you.

Ok, I'll give you a sensible and only slightly biased answer here.
From pure power, the Xbox does sort of have a slight upper hand and therefore has a minute advantage in the graphics department.
From a games perspective, Nintendo is in the lead.
The Gamecube is by far the most programmer friendly machine around meaning that most programmers can concentrate on original and clever ideas rather than struggling with the coding.
You should know that Nintendo has had plenty of good games other than the cartoony ones.
You should also know that these cartoony games Nintendo produce are some of the best games around.
If you don't realise these two things then you are probably not mature enough to be a Nintendo gamer (shunning cartoony games because of their looks is DEFINATELY immature).
Cartoony games are not taking over consoles.
I'd say that it's more like the opposite.
Decent games of that style are rare on other systems which almost exclusively go for "adult titles".
The Gamecube will get more than enough of these more mature titles (The whole Resident Evil series for example) as well as plenty of cartoony games as well.
Basically, it's the most balanced system around.
The X box is a neat machine and if you want one then that's a fair choice and I won't disuade you.
But don't be fooled into dismissing the Gamecube as a childrens toy, because that is the most childish thing a games player can do!

The Xbox is the easiest system to develop for out of all the new systems, it is using a tried and tested method which every games developer is instantly familiar with.
Some of you guys do blether sometimes don't you. :D

Well I was going by the words from programmers like Yu Suzuki, Yuji Naka and people at Capcom but I suppose they don't know what they're talking about.
Next time I'll pick more reliable sources.
Games programmers? What was I thinking! As if they'd know anything about coding from different platforms...
