If you read Channel 4's Teletext Game page even though i know its crap you might of seen an readers article on a bias view of a daily life of an Nintendo Fan, today i read letters that the Gamecube is the new Dreamcast from a X-box owner and then a PS2 owner says the X-Box is a piece of junk and the Gamecube is rubbish.
Seems the only kiddies are some PS2 and X-box owners but i know theres a couple or few of them that don't go out and diss other consoles.

Because we enjoy our console and not waste our time dissing the others.
and my reply usually tends to be......
"Because it's a PS2, there heaps better, better graphics, faster etc."
I tell them to look at the facts and not the all the publicity

Pffffffffffft.
It makes a difference in about 1% of games.
Besides, the N64 didn't either, but Conker was in full surround sound.
