Quite frankly I cant see PS2 gaining a lead throughout 2002.
Nor can I see the XBOX swelling to the front.
Nintendo will naturally bounce back with a vengence.

Sadly for Sony this is Nintendo's year and years there after.

Again, i ask myself why we do this.

Again i come up with no answer.

Must be fun :D

In 2002, could the general public percieve the PS2 to be an "old" technology? People want the latest up-to-date ting.

People in this category will be going for x-box no?

What will people be going for next christmas?

Surly if Nintendo delay the Gamecube till Autumn then they will have a huge deman close to the christmas period. Delay could be good.

No sonic let this continue you see i know a hell of a lot about Nintendo, you know a bit and TBN knows nothing so TBN is easier.

Just keep thinking Capcom made a N64 Mickey Mouse game and you'll be fine :D

Well, Smeagol, I really don't know what you're basing you're "argument" on.

The PlayStation 2 has had a 2 Christmas lead on all the other consoles in the UK and a 1 Christmas lead in all other countries. It also, for a fact, has much more games than both the other two consoles put together and has a greater quantity of quality games also. Couple this with Sony's reputation for quality gaming hardware and software, their pervading public presence, and the inevitable "Metal Gear Solid 2".

May I also remind you of the GameCube fairly muted launch in Japan, a market where it is said that if a console fails there it will fail in all other places?

And what's more, it's not due to be launched in Europe until at least April, but Edge still have their money on September.

All in all, I think Nintendo's in for a pretty poor year, unlike Sony and Microsoft, and possibly a disappointing generation.

Oh and, in future, could you please base your arguments on more fact than faith? Cheers.

It also, for a fact, has much more games than both the other two consoles put together and has a greater quantity of quality games also.

All in all, I think Nintendo's in for a pretty poor year, unlike Sony and Microsoft, and possibly a disappointing generation.
