the gamecube will not be as popular as the ps2, because it is aimed towards young children but it comes out after xmas when parents will have spent lots of money on their children and therefore won't be prepared to buy it. the controller looks as though it could give one arthritis, due to the awkward positioning of the d-pad, this will make it hard for children to use it and they will soon become bored of not being able to reach the buttons in order to stop themselves getting killed. the gamecube has specs that are only just better than the ps2, apart from graphics where it is worse and looks where it is just poor, but the games won't take advantage of the graphics. it will end up as the N64 did with games that end up having cartoony graphics which aren't realistic.

yeah but it seems to be doing well in the US. Oops, wrong forum to say that. I'll get some dim newbies shouting now. Wait for it.

The Game cube will flop in Europe because of the way they treat the European market.
