Im guessing everyone whos reading this will have a gc or gba etc, but without being biased cos of what u own , what do u think is the best? Nintendo sales are low, i think xbox and ps2 are both beating it. Whys that?
I got a gc about 6 months ago. i got rogue leader - complete that quite quickly so i got super smash brothers- but u buy it for the multiplayer and my sister hates it. I got resident evil - but thats too slow for my liking, TS2 and Mario both got my vote, but when i look at other consoles, and look at the huge power of the Xbox, i wonder if i made the right decision.

Persuade me

The GameCube is annhialating the X-Box in Japan, and thanks to Metroid Prime and Resident Evil Zero, has secured a comfortable spot ahead of it in the US too. Unfortunately, it's lagging behind in Europe but you can expect that to change drastically over the coming year

Worlwide, the Playstation 2 is in the lead, with GameCube second and X-Box third.

What - 100%? What about some bonus missions? Unlockable ships? Have you tried any of the great cheats? The levels are also great fun to play again if you give them another go.

Persuade your sister to try it again, and if not, get a few mates round. Alternatively, you could give the single player a chance which I find to be quite fun and deep (collecting trophies, three game modes, challenges, stadium, etc).

> I got resident evil - but thats too slow for my liking,

You've really got to get into Resident Evil. Admittedly it starts slow, but get past that and you'll really start having some fun.

> TS2 and Mario both got my vote,

Yep, they are both great games.

The GameCube is just as powerful that the X-Box, if not more, and has a whole load of quality games out and planned.

> Persuade me

On top of the games you've already got - you're yet to try Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Starfox Adventures, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Mario Party 4 and Pikmin. All classics.

And then there's the future; Metroid Prime, The Wind Waker, 1080: Avalanche, Resident Evil Zero, Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Harvest Moon, Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter, Splinter Cell and many, many others.

Give your GameCube another chance - you won't be disappointed.
