There's no doubt that Microsoft have at least some decent games planned for their XBox, but their even less doubt that Nintendo's Gamecube will whip the living tar out of Microsoft's console. Here's why:

1. Gamecube looks small, stylish and really cool. Plus it
will be available in 5 different colours, so practically
everyone will be able to find a colour that suits their
taste. XBox on the other hand, looks like an oversized,
overweight VCR that's been squashed by an elephant.

2. Bill Gates has got to be on of the richest men in the
world, and realistically doesn't even need Microsoft to
extend into the console business. Nintendo's Gamecube,
however, is just the next console in a long line of
awesome machines.

3. Microsoft rants on about how XBox is as powerful as a
PC and that's it going to be one of the most powerful
consoles ever. But, PC's are always being upgraded so
Microsoft won't be able to stick by these claims for
very long at all.

4. Nintendo have sequels planned to some of their best
games ever. Super Smash Bros Melee, Wave Race:
Blue Storm and Metroid Prime will all be superb. But,
there's also loads of original games planned. Luigi's
Mansion, Eternal Darkness and SEGA's Super Monkey Ball
will be some of the best games ever.

5. At one E3 games expo, one spokesperson from a games
development team said, and I quote, "The XBox controller
is one of the worst pads I've ever held." So there you
are.

6. On the Gamecubes first three days of being released in
Japan, it sold over 300,000 units. Microsoft, on the
other hand, have announced that they will be have
nowhere near as many XBox units for the US release.

So there you are then. I'm by no means against XBox, but in my opinion, Gamecube is going to beat XBox, and PS2 as well, in the console wars.

Going by the amount of money that Microsoft have, I don't think there that bothered that their machine is gonna be over priced.

I think the big selling point of gamecube will be the fact it is about £100 cheaper than X-box.

if i was Microsoft i would stay out of the console market

I REALLY want to play Buffy, but I refuse to get an X-Box to play it on!

With a bit of luck, the X-Box won't have exclusive rights for tooooo long!
