"/////// The End Of Gamecube? /////////"

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??

Im still up for copied games, you can buy something like 30 games which are copied just for the price of an original

The full price one. Firstly because it's an official version. Secondly, to stop piracy which I abhorr and thirdly because I'm proud of my games collection. I don't want a cheap pirated copy that I couldn't be sure of working 100% correctly. Not that I'm saying if it was 100% working I'd buy the pirate copy. It was different in the days of the speccy when games were so cheap and easy to copy but nowadays piracy is the single biggest problem in the games industry. Good work to Nintendo for making small discs - it reduces the chance of piracy which in turn, leads to a loss of revenue for the game developers. Which can lead to having less money to invest for new games or ventures.

DONT POST HERE ANYMORE - I ahve done it twice now so let this Thread go down the listing where it belongs

Actually the Game Cube is selling better than X-Box. And the GC does have classics such as:
1 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
2. Mario 128
3. Eternal Darkness
4. Resident Evil
5. Star Fox Adventures
6. Metroid Prime
7. 1080 Avalanche
8. Pikmin
9. Time Splitters 2
10. Super Smash Brothers Melee.

I presume you meant Mario Sunshine, not Mario 128, of which we know nothing.

No I meant Mario 128 it's the proper sequal to Mario 64.

GC-'master', most companies plan to make up losses on hardware with software. since the X-box is selling along with four of it's best games for £20 each, then they are going to need to make Up on that. although four of it's best titles for £20 each perhaps isn't the best way to go about doing it. plus athe gaming industry WOULD fall apart. how much money do you think nintendo/sony/microsoft would make JUST on the console. not enough to keep them afloat, certainly.

you are a bigger mook than JBH. the mook.

*mooks*

How come GcMaster is still red...?

Isn't he suppose to be a Newbie by now?

I can read Shigsy's mind.

Indeed....
