The X-box, made by Microsoft. You're immeadiatly lead to think: 'Bill Gates, lots of money, PC's, it must be great!!' I don't think it will be! The only way the X-box will win is if it's all decided ONLY on graphical effects in the games. Looking at the size of the chunky controllers, and the number of exclusive titles/series' (1, ODDWORLDS, "LOL!!") it doesn't seem like 'the box' is gunna be any better than the others. And how many exclusives does the PS2 have??? Only a few, but still more than the X-box, but Sony's number is limited due to the fact that many of the games are being released on both PS2 and X-box. So, as you can see, the GameCube is looking better and better, keeping Mario, Zelda, and co. as Nintendo exclusives, and along with the GameBoy Advance, taking the responsabilities of Sonic and Resident Evil away from their closest rivals, and improving them in their own way!!
Looking at the PS2 contollers, why do you need 2 sticks??? Is it one for each arm or leg?? The GameCube does this aswell, I KNOW, but one replaces the C-buttons from the N64, making it easier to view your surroundings, or make use of those back-up items you're carrying. And with everything from the N64's controller on the GameCube's, the favoured style will still be there, but even better!!! And awaitng the next Zelda or Perfect Dark adventure is much more desireable than awaiting ANOTHER Final Fantasy, or Max Payne, in 'super-realistic graphical effects'!!!
The PS2 costs £200-300, X-box should be £300, and it could be only £200 or less for the GameCube with only £40 per game!! This is definitley going to have some effect on WHY the GameCube will sit happily, above the rest.
Xbox will also be great.
Do some reading up on the console before you go around and say how bad it is...
Oh, and if your response is "I have been reading up on it," then maybe the words are falling on deaf ears?
