The latest sales figures do not read good for the Nintendo Gamecube at all.

GC sold 10,000
Xbox sold 21,000

and PS2 sold a staggering 95,000 3 times as may as the other two put together.

Pretty poor reading if you are an Xbox owner, but far worst for Ninty fanboys.

Less than half the amount of Xbox, why is the GC doing so poorly well thats is obvious to everyone except hardened Ninty fanboys.

No dvd people would rather pay a little extra for that function.

GC packages are actually no cheaper than the Xbox or PS2.

Rubbish games line-up that prove the gamer has moved on from
games like Mario. Dont take my word for it look at the figures, Starfox was hardly a resounding success either.

Games are taking far too long to produce (I thought the GC was a sinch to program for), people sick of waiting.

Xbox and PS2 get all the really big titles because they have the bigger, better and industry standard format .

What it all boils down to is that Cherry wants me to take away his virginity. Unfortunately for him, I'm not only straight, but also spoken for. He'll just have to wait until he finds a suitably sized hole in a tree, or a dog after too much catnip.

And the loading times have decreased due to the fact that the laser has less space on the disc to read. Plus, it helps to prevent piracy.

So you arguments are ill-founded methinks. Anyway, I agree with Rickoss - I'm off to the boozer to get ready for the footy...

oh yeah, TS, why do you think that the PS2 is superoir? It's inferior in every way except toast making capabilities

Twisting what I say into a playground insult when you can't think of a retort makes you look like a twit. A real, pig-ignorant twit.

Do you make a living from being an idiot? Because that would explain the Lexus. Anyway, I'm sick of reading what an idiot has to say, so I'll be off.

There is always a first for everything.

Mind you Nintendo using a dodgy format that would be a second for them.

The Xbox is the best console, I still think that there are more quality GameCube titles than PS2 and Xbox. Next year, when the Xbox get their Rare games, Nintendo could well be overtaken though. That is if Metroid Prime isn't as good as people say.
