"Disturbing March results for box"

I was going to call it the March massacre. The PS2's big release Devil May Cry 2 appears at the end of the month but Nintendo and X-box are fighting throughout it.

Nintendo released 5 exclusive games for all ages, Super Monkey Ball 2, Resident Evil: 0, Phantasy Star Online Edition 1 and 2, Sonic Mega Collection and Metroid Prime. These are all popular series' and with large advertisement for Resident Evil: 0 (damn good advert) and Metroid Prime sales will undoubtably increase for the Gamecube. Add this with price drops for their console and game bundles and in store price drops (£99 amd £80). Gamecube will surly enjoy a good month.

But what about the competiton? Well the X-box wasn't going to give up it's lead so easily. Despite the Gamecube almost running neck and neck with it heading into March, the X-box was always in the stronger position. Massivly popular MGS2 and X-box Live plus games should have seen the X-box flying. Especially with the over kill of X-box live advertisement. Ant and Dec playing X-box live... indeed. Nevertheless sales for X-box dropped over 10% in the last week. Comparitivly the PS2 dropped the same amount whilst the Gamecube rose dramatically by 60%.

Surly that's not good?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

SEGA or C&VG?

Now I don't really care it is an outdated game and X-box live has better titles.

But I insist the Gamecube version is larger as i've seen the box for the X-box one and it seemed like a different styled game to me.

Why does C&VG.com say this then:

"Phantasy Star Online I & II features exclusive downloadable quests via Xbox Live, and can still be played with four players offline if you so desire.

As Sega is releasing PSO I & II, it comes complete with two games in one, letting you team up with up to three friends or with an offline four-player split screen mode."


We get 1 and 2 as well.

To be honest, I'm not sure what the difference is. Is Ep 2 a brand new sequel?

Top Score should be a notable.

Awww come on if we can't have a console war once in a while these forums become dull. If top score can't be found then I guess I'll have to be the one to initiate it. Don't criticise me for inflaming a debate.

No we didn't we said the Gamecube was getting a larger game and we are. Taken from the SEGA website:

"Episode II brings a new full-length adventure that's exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube."

That is what we were saying, the Gamecube is getting a game that is larger than the X-box version. Also downloadable content is avalible on the Gamecube version too... not sure how mind.

blank see that thing on your shoulder??
