Is it more widely accepted now? I feel it is especially after the results of xbox outselling gamepube. Do you agree?

Meh, there is lag in XBox Live. I have witnessed it at my assistant managers house. Not a lot. However there is lag.

I will say it again - online gaming is not ready yet.

Ohhh you want constant framerate? You want a graphic battle. Make no cries until you have played Metroid Prime.

And beat this - NO LOADING.

That'll learn you.

A crap game is a crap game, no matter the price ! Just means you waste 29.99 instead of 39.99.... anyway, even NOM couldn't give Doshin a decent score because it was an appalingly crap game by all but the most diehard Nintendo fan's standards. As for Xbox / GC performance, well the GC does perfrom well, and it's a good machine, but I think the problem is with developers themselves making a hash up of coding - I played Clone Wars last night and it suffers bad slowdown, bad collision detection, bad targeting, god awful on foot sections..... yet Rogue Leader was excellent, again apart from some bugs.

Xbox, on the other hand, handles things like Mech Assault, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Unreal and Halo, where tons of stuff is moving and the framerate keeps constant, and there is no slowdown, even in online games - which in Mech Assault can get very pyrotechnic - in one game 7 mechs bought it in a chain reaction and everything ran smoothly.

Indeed, but if they were biased, shouldn't it be the Nintendo titles that collected the 9's?

The GC sells because it has good games, The X-box sells because they are nearly giving it away. Go figure.
