The Gamecube uses a funky new disc based on Matsushita’s Optical Disc Technology. These amazing discs are not only faster that the PS2 and Xbox, but can hold up to 1.5GB of gaming pleasure.
One of the more interesting innovations Gamecube introduces is its ability to link with Game Boy Advance. The two consoles work seamlessly to create a totally integrated gaming system.
The Gamecube Controller is a stunning piece of design. Nintendo are known for innovation in this area and have managed to redefine the standard in every console generation.
The Gamecube has been designed with one mission in mind: to evolve the medium of games. It's tiny yet stylish exterior hides a beast of a games machine.
Nintendo GAMECUBE sets new technical standards in a compact (6"x6"x4.3"), transportable housing. It features a highly customized, 405 Mhz, copper wire central processor from IBM; a revolutionary graphics co-processor from ATI with Mosys 1-T SRAM memory embedded directly onto the chip; and 40 MB of memory, including one of the largest implementations of static memory in consumer product history. This integrated design creates the fastest and most efficient video game system ever brought to market.
Now what is better?
From a marketing point of view, it's going to be very hard to dislodge Sony from the top of the gaming heap. I'm not sure whether the Gamecube will be given a chance (like the Dreamcast) to show it's worth.
Anyone agree?
