The "superconsoles" (dolphin, ps2, x-box, dreamcast), are what many are to believe, the home entertainment system of the new millennium. The reason people believe this, is because of three little letters, DVD. Obviously, dreamcast does not exist in this race, but the other three, do. In a recent survey asking why people would buy the ps2, most of them, (about 36% I think) said it was because it could play dvd's. People seem to be more interested in the playing of movies than actually playing any good games on the system. Although sales seem to be going well at the moment for ps2 in japan, apart from that kirby business about a week ago, will the games sell that good in a month, or two months? No. The two reasons for this is, there will be not many games, and the population are buying it for the dvd playing capabilitys, and also they get a console chucked in as well.

I don't really care what it looks like as long as it's not huge and a black box.

Yes that really was a poor name!
Dolphin was a good name though, and I prefer it to Gamecube!

This reminds me of the N64. It took me ages to stop calling it the Ultra 64 cos I liked that name to!
