Earlier today whilst I was having a two player on Pro Evolution Soccer with my brother, he asked me if I was going to get an X-Box. Here is the conversation :-
Brother - Are you getting an X-box?
Me - Why would I want one? I've got my PS2.
Brother - Yeah, but they look good.
Me - If you like them so much, why don't you get one.
Brother - I dunno, I might get one of them or a PS2.
Me - Or you could get a Gamecube.
Brother - What's a Gamecube?
Me - Nintendo's new console, havn't you heard of it?
Brother - No.
Now, my brother is getting on a bit now (17) and most of you will just call him an idiot for not knowing what a Gamecube is, and that's fair enough, or maybe there are more people like him. He doesn't come onto these forums or anything and only goes on the PC to play Championship Manager.
What I want to know is, if he hasn't gone out of his way to look for the next-gen consoles, how come he knows about the X-Box but not the Gamecube?

Maybe when he was on the internet on his PC, Microsoft put filled it with loads of adverts about it...they can do that y'know...
He probably knows about X-box because it is getting Championship Manager :)
Nintendo need to advertise!!!
Hmmm. Most people I've actually spoken to about consoles are aware that X-Box and Gamecube exist, but I suspect there are a lot of people like your bro who don't know they exist.
Ah well. Doesn't bother me too much any more. I've no loyalty for Nintendo anymore. I'll get whatever impresses me most. (The PS2 has unimpressed me most, so far.)
