Take the Gameboy Advance. It is small. That is obvious. And that can be an advantage to you compact travel-gamers, or a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that you are more than likely to drop it, lose it or lend it and get it broken. And the games are, to make a long story short, miniscule. You need a microscope to chack whether you are holding "Wolfenstein" or "Golden Sun". And then you go and lose both. Sheesh! It's graphics may well just be cardboard cut-outs given unnatural life. On "Ecks versus Sever" every enemy falls onto his knees and then face down and your foes are 2D. Where's the "Advance" in that?
GameCube was supposed to be Nintendo's best console yet. HA, HA, HA!!! I don't know whether it was supposed to be advertised in the gayest colour ever (purple, tisk, tisk) and why cube. It could have been a more practical cuboid or an imaginative pyramid. Nope, they chose a 3D square. Honestly.
Xbox is massive, full-stop. Sure it has a built in hard drive to store games onto the actual console but, God, it is COLLOSAL. I wonder if it was intentional? I think that Mr. Gates should have stuck with PC's. It would do us a lot of good. Believe it or not I have a friend who bought an Xbox. 2 weeks later it had reportedly started smoking from the back. It was damaged beyond repair? My God what is the world coming to?
PS2. Everyone knows what that is. "The third place", you know what I mean??? DVDs, backward compatability, texture mapping, blah, blah, blah. It's enough to make you sick. It made me sick anyway. Tons of useless peripherals for it. A horizontal and vertical stand! WOW (not). It does have some good games. Bloody, gory, ugly, rugged games with only four objectives. Kill, mutilate, obliterate, destroy.
In other words, consoles just wash your money away and for what? A whole load of pure disability. I DESPISE IT.
Nismo, enemy of games. Really, I am.

I think that is the point of making a portable console, no?

You seem to know a lot about videogames, considering you HATE them
> Where's the "Advance" in that?
The fact that it is colour and is capable of many textures and more 'advanced' games, as the gameboy was just one colour, one texture

dont have a seizure their mate. and if you think about it.. it is nintendos best console ever

WOW, advertised in purple.. what a crime. You obviously have too much time on your hands if you are complaining about the colour of a console, get a life

How is a basic shape imaginative? Anyways, the cube is meant to be kept simple

No a cube!, a 3D square is a 3D square, and a cube is a cube.... this guy is so good, he doesn't even know his damn shapes

Well, it wasn't made for portability, and is no bigger than a VCR. I dont see people complaining about the size of their VCR or DVD player, so whats the problem?

Well, if your only complaint was that the Xbox is huge, just think how big a PC is, you clearly haven't thought about anything, have you?

Not
I have a friend
Don't believe that either

At least consoles can't get hacked.

No need for the harsh words.
