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.

My sentiments exactly Wookiee. I got a PS2 back in October 2001 and enjoy it, then I got my Gamecube when it was released and enjoy it, then I got an Xbox so as not to lose out on great games like Halo, best version of Splinter Cell etc, and I enjoy my Xbox too.
Out of the three I probably prefer the GC, but I enjoy the others as well, and it means I don't miss out on any great games.
Buy all three consoles!

Well, I got the PS2 because I wanted one. Not because it was 'cool' or because all my friends had one (I was the first to get one), but because of the games.
Since then, there have been games on Xbox and Gamecube that I wanted to play, so I bought them too.
I still prefer my PS2, but why miss out on the other games because of stupid blind loyalty?

To be fair, it's not just about that. With the greatest of respect, if people don't want a product - bringing the price down won't make "that much difference". Yes a few more will go for it on price alone, but a lot of people still wont buy one, because they simply don't want it. Why would they spend £150 on some thing, when what they really want is a different brand (even if it costs more). It's a bit like buying the car that is 2nd best, just because it's a bit cheaper - but you really wanted the other car in the showroom.

You MUST mean Microsoft, because there's never been any evidence whatsoever of PS2 sales slowing down!

that seems like something Alan Partridge would say, that and the lexus thing, it looks like topscore is modeling himself on Steve coogans comic creation.
Next thing you know he'll finnish off argumentative posts with 'back of the net' amongst over partridge catchphrases.

All this talk of lexuses (hmm that doesn't look right), lexuss...
lexususses... bah that still doesn't look right
*remembers alan partridge television program*
lexi thats the plural.
(does topscore use lynx africa? heh that probably went over the heads of a few people)
Whats the car got to do with anything, apart from showing off.
hmm whats the equation for these things
cars expense is inversely proportional to manhood size (or not)
'back of the net'

Off a cliff.
Why does every argument with Top Score end up with a question on if he has a Lexus or not?
He obviously doesn't... he has a PS2... he comes onto forums and makes childish comments.
How can such a To$$ Piece make money?
