Actually I'm out into town now. If you're still desperate to argue with someone try standing in front of a mirror and hitting yourself in the face.

Who cares about who's in 2nd/3rd whatever place anyway.

Nintendo suck.

As a company.

The games are good.

But the company is crap.

They bring it on themselves.

I already have a GameCube, so I don't really care if Nintendo aren't making anymore.

And when there are no good games for the Cube, I don't come on here and get in stupid arguments to pass the time. I go out and meet people who aren't stuck behind their computers all day.

You mong.

Once again you're taken in by what Microsoft are saying, like about 5 months back when they said they'd beaten a company that had been in the buisness for more than 20 years.....it completly unfounded and a made up statement.

There's many different claims of who's in the 2nd place, it's like 2 girls squabbling over who's got the most dolls. It's pathetic...like a lot of you opinionated arguments that have no basis what so ever.

I don't know where you got the "most" from...not EVERYONE liked it...but then you're not really gonna find a game that absolutely everyone likes. I personally think it's great. but looking at reviews etc...it actually got impressive reviews (ign gave it 9.5, gamespot gave it 9.3, reader reviews from gamespot gave it 9.3 (10870 ratings), videogamereviews.com (users submit reviews) gave it 4.42 out of 5 -544 reviews!)

FF11 hasn't done that well...and that's because it required people to get:
a hard drive and a modem (and maybe a keyboard?)...and that's quite a hefty amount to spend if you just want to play FF11. oh and add onto monthly fees to play. i think i'm gonna wait until it comes out on pc before i get it.

No-one really cares about the halting in production - It's the stupid spazzy company that's behind it that everyone's losing "faith" in.

(well *nearly* everyone...)

Nintendo seem to think the Gamecube will sell instantly without them doing anything - And the

"Make shorter and less challeninging games"

Thing is a bit annoying.

Stupid Nintendo.

Heh, why are you all so worried.

Sony are in the worst place at the moment, as a company they have taken a huge turn for the worse.

Nintendo are doing fine in America and Japan with the sales of the GBA and smaller sales of the GameCube.

Microsoft will not make any money back on the Xbox at all and have also halted production of their console for the time being.

No you just hand your console to someone. They hand it back with every emulator installed on it and all manner of media playing software. And it's easy as chips to put roms and whatever you want on it. I know quite a few ppl that have had it done.
