Okay, so nintendo have got serious competition when it comes to games consoles.
I personally think that the gamecube is better.
But I want to know if you prefer GAMECUBE or PLAYSTATION 2.
Tell me:
1)What console you prefer
2)Why you prefer it
3)What games you would like to see released on the console.

I prefer the gamecube because it produces 405 MHZ, 6 million-12 million polygons / second, the discs are 8cm diameter and you can play with other people around the world.

You may like the GameCube for the all poly whatsits but do you care about what games it has?

The reasons why I like the GameCube is as it has loads of ace games on it.

No-one can definitively say which is better, only give their opinions on what they as an individual prefer. I think Nintendo and Rare (both only make games for Ninty consoles) are two of the best Games developers in the world, and they are two of the main reasons I want Nintendo consoles. Nintendo are also one of the most innovative games and console designers around. While Sony use the same controller as they did with PSX for PS2 (even the new name, PlayStation2, is hardly original is it), Nintendo are designing all new stuff, from the controller, to Nintendo expanding into new genres, like their upcoming RTS kinda game Pikmin.

long live Nintendo!
(that's what I think... anyway)

I agree, nintendo and rare both make super duper games.
I also want the gamecube because they are changing everything not just keeping to the same stuff like the PLAYSTATION 2.

Didn't I talk about the class games on GAMECUBE? Shame on me. But I care about the polygons and MHZ because that is what makes the graphics ace!

I personally prefer the PS2-because of the style of games. I would much prefer MGS to Mario, or Max Payne to Donkey Kong.

Sony have a much wider variety of games, in other words.

That's just an empty argument, Nintendo have got just as much if not more variety in their games. The only type of game Nintendo are lacking are realistic racing games.
