History repeats itself in many ways most notibally now in the console world, Look at my chart to see what i mean:

Playstation = Can chip the playstation so the games are cheaper, still around today.

Sega Saturn = Lol, Waste of money COULD NOT CHIP THE THING, not around today ------------> Console Graveyard.


Nintendo 64 = Could not chip the thing to get cheap games, had Heavy game prices -------------> Console Graveyard.

Dreamcast = Could play *Copied* Games on it without been chippped, only went to graveyard cause of lack of support and killed off by the PS2

PS2 = Can chip the thing, has loads of games already, Massave audience like it or not and one of the tree next-gen consoles.

Xbox = Becoming increasingly popular, Games catolougue getting bigger, can now get it chipped for a mere 50.00. (Now Sold More Than Gamecube)

Gamecube = Cant chip it, Not alot of classic games so far.....Sold less than the x-box and is even cheaper.




The Fact been that most of the consoles that you can get chipped, end up in the Console Graveyard, Does this spell Disaster For Our Beloved Gamecube??

What are you talking about?
The n64 lasted for a very long time.
And why have you forgotten the biggest selling console of all time, the gameboy?

So now 6 years isn't very long.
And what about SNES, NES, Master System and Mega Drive?

So you think that pirating software is a good idea?

But it's the games that make the money, not the consoles. I'm glad that GC disks can't be pirated, as I feel pirating will be the downfall of the industry, if it carries on.

What the!!!! So what you're saying is a consoles success is dependant on it's ability to play pirated games? Perhaps one of the stupidest things I've read all day.

But Sony didn't make enough money from the Playstation. Because of piraters.
