Hi everyone!

First off, I'm sick of people being too quick to judge the consoles, I think it's about time people waited until they have experienced all the next-gen consoles in depth before shouting "PS2's the best!" etc. I don't see how us Brits can crown a king when two of the the next-gen consoles haven't been released in Europe.

Secondly, I think people are writing Nintendo off way too quickly, they've had roaring sales in the US and Japan and from what I've seen and played so far (Rogue Leader feels great when you play it, I don't even like Star Wars) The Big N seem to have some good prospects in the line (Resident Evil *drools* can't wait!). Plus, I don't think there are many who would disagree, they're doing a better job with the GCN than with the N64.

Thirdly, credit to all three players, they've all come up with some great stuff and man the best console win!

Just because you're showering them with praise doesn't make it any less of a contradiction.

Sense indeed. Pah!

Yeah, they do. Of course in my case, it's true ;)

In an ideal world, we would all be able to afford every machine, so that we would be able to choose the cream of the crop from every system for our own games collections.

It's a shame that many of us cannot. People tend to percieve their own personal choices as the best. They have done research to their own level of acceptance on what is right for them, and anyone that disagrees with their choice is wrong.

If veryone had all machines, the bias would end.
