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?

Only because its the end of the argument.
I don't care what the GC is getting, as I don't have one. The fact is Episode 1 & 2 are coming out on Xbox, will be playable over Xbox Live and will have extra downloadable content.
You were saying it's not coming out on Xbox. It is. Therefore, that's that sorted.

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.

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.

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Now I don't really care it is an outdated game and X-box live has better titles.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