Mario and Zelda on PS2 as strange as that sounds their could be more truth in it than you think.

Nintendo have been told by some heavyweight financial advisers that they should develop software for other platforms or face financial ruin.

It would appear that the poor GC sales are starting to bite with developers getting increasingly worried about the GC continued poor performance and the lack of software sold because of this.

Producing for Xbox and inparticular PS2 would add a much bigger user base up instead of the limited one they have now makes sense to me. If Nintendo was able to make more money from software they might be able to produce more quality titles rather than the tripe they do at the moment, hell it might even help Nintendo to sell more GC.

I like how Top Score always backs up these wild claims with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

If anyone takes fanboys seriously, they really do need to see a doctor.

Heh, if a fanboy states facts instead of making up or changing them to suit themselves, then I am a fanboy.

If a fanboy can sit down and evaluate each console after extensive play, and formulate decent opinions, then I am a fanboy.

If a fanboy enjoys each console he plays and doesn't start argumentative topics in order to annoy other people, then I am a fanboy.

However, I don't believe a fanboy is capable of the above. Therefore, you are the fanboy you misguided fool, and your attitude towards me doesn't help your case.

Edgy, you're a fanboy, you can't take it that I make love to my PS2 every night, we share the same bed...

GC is crap and they're losing $99999999999999 a day because of it!

PS2 is best because more mindless idiots buy it to be cool, your arguement is crap!

Top Score, the GameCube is selling a hell of a lot better than the Nintendo 64 and there are plenty of decent games out, even now!

Sure, we have to wait for some of the new ones to be released, but that doesn't mean the console is necessarily dead.

Nintendo have already announced a new console and a new handheld are in development to try and compete in the next generation of consoles which are due out around 2005, and there are currently a huge amount of games in production for Nintendo's current consoles in comparison to the Nintendo 64.

If you want to continue your fanboyistic comments, please do, for no one shall take much notice and will argue back. After all, I own a GameCube and an Xbox, and my brother a Playstation 2 and I shall play and enjoy whatever I like whether you think I'm cool or playing a 'dead horse' or not.

The fact is, I play GameCube more than any other console, the Xbox is second, and the Playstation 2, despite my brother having many Final Fantasy games (on PSX and 2) and the GTA games, is currently last, less played than my Dreamcast.

Wait, you've just come to the conclusion that the PS2 will have excellent broadband services and the GC will be crap?

Neither are out here yet you ~know~ that the PS2 will be the best!

Xbox will be good because it was designed with online play in mind and they have had all the testing already here so people can see what it's like...

Don't get all wound up and exited about it, online gaming is good when you have nobody to play against but when you have 4 people round, it will never beat 4 player madness on games...

Stop making up crap again!

Just wait before you make stuff up...

P.S

I heard that Sony are pulling out of the gaming market because somebody posted a letter to them saying that they were crap...
