Gamecube has a huge a price difference because Xbox is 300 dollars!!!! But Gamecube is only 200 dollars!!!! They both go as smoother because they both go around 60 frames per second!!! In my opinion, i think that there are going to be better games. I just don't like the games that are coming out for Xbox and i love nintendo and playstation. I'm not making fun of America because i love this country but when was the last time they made a console. The last time was at like Atari. So trust me on getting Gamecube instead of Xbox!!!

i think some of the games on the xbox do look pretty good , but then i looked at Galleon on xbox (a video of it) then i looked at the same GC footage. Many people think that the graphics and the like are better on the xbox , which would attract more Joe Bloggs gamers , but in this case the colors meshed together to much making the character look all deformed and manky , i then watched the same footage but this time from the GC , no colors meshed together , everything looks great ! But average gamers wont see this because all they look at is the specifications of the console. Sad.
Yes Halo may be good, but so is Pikmin, SSBM etc - GC has more established titles, with the Exclusive (and non exclusive) killer AAA titles to come - but I like the look of the launch - and from the eyes of a Joe Bloggs, a cheaper machine that is actualy faster in terms of what it can do is more appealing.
Hmmm... well, looking at it from an average gamers eyes, this is how things appear:
*Xbox is more powerful and has better graphics. Graphics do NOT make games, but the average casual gamer type just likes nice looking games.
*Xbox has FAR more advertising. Let's face it, any pile of rubbish will sell with advertising... not that the xbox is rubbish...
*Xbox has GREAT games. In fact, I will say (to many people's hate) that the xbox has a better launch line up than the GC. Does the GC honestly have any killer, AAA must-have titles that the public will embrace. no. Does xbox. Well, Halo is, whether u like it or not, one of the best games of the past few years... just read a review of it! But in addition there are games like Project Gotham to get the public really into the games. Let's face it... GT appeals far more than any Mario games to the general public... after all, GT made more money than Titanic!
*Xbox costs far more than the GC. And for this reason the box will have a big struggle selling.
*Ninty has the reputation for excellent games. But saying that... where was this support for the N64???
If you're going to rank consoles in terms of success, you have to do it through the eyes of the CASUAL JOE BLOGGS who just likes eye candy.
Educated gamers know that the DC should never have died. We know that the N64 had some of the best games ever seen on it. But the public don't care about this...
sad, but true.

You're not the first to post a topic like this, even I've done one similar, critisising the PS2, and how the GameCube will rule and X-box will suck.
Over here (England) we say pounds (£) not dollars ($). And the Cube will be £200, £100 less than the box at £300. This will make a huge difference on the people's choice, but I think the Cube's games are of much beter quality than the box's, except maybe graphics wise. Nintendo wil release many exclusive games like Mario, Resi Evil and Zelda, while the Xbox has very few exclusives, as many of the same games are also on the PS2. Only PC and 1 or 2 games will be Xbox exclusives, and the only real reason to go for the box would be for the best graphics. The PS2 is OK, but will be forgotte and left behind with the Cube's UK enterance.
1. ***GameCube***
3.(or lower) X-box
