"The Real Console War"

I have seriously had enough with the fights between XBOX, PS2, and Gamecube. I’ll admit...I also started a console war once. But then again, it was one of my very early posts at the forums. Now, it’s just a waste of time to be honest with you.

If you would like to have a console war...do it right!

I have made this topic for GAD members to post anything they want that will show which console is best. But I am not talking in regards of which console will prevail by just saying, "XBOX will kill PS2", or "GAMECUBE will smash XBOX", and so on. I mean, discuss about what console does what, etc…

That is the only logical way to compare consoles if you are going to have a console war.

Thank you for taking part,

That sounds all too much like a PC to me.

PS2 has the most developers behind it which will hopefully bring me good games next year.

The best response I have received so far - Thank you

It's not the power of the console that matters, it's the games that are made for it.
