the games are STILL childish and for little kids!
they STILL have bloody italian plumbers!!
they STILL are intent on their own format not a widely used one! ( N64 cart, big mistake, GAMECUBE not dvd, big mistake)
price is good, but then, if the games are pants!! who cares!
I hate nintendo, do what sega did! STOP MAKING CONSOLES!!!
the xbox is incredible, I have one , Ive tried all of them, PS2, XBOX, GAMECUBE,
theres simply no comparison
PERIOD!
who ever thinks otherwise is either a 14 year old puffy jacket, or cant afford one!

All I said was that Nintendo had better profits, I didn't say the N64 outsold the Playstation, though GameBoy Color did whilst in competition with the Neo-Geo Pocket Colour.

Whyever not may I ask?
there will be more people with PS2

It will change....at one point there were more people with NES's than other consoles...
Infact, I remember in one Bits show the girls stuck a PS2 in a suitcase and kicked it repeatedly because it had such a terrible range of games on launch!
There was very little that stood out on the PS2 shelves in videogame stores, and that has only recently started to change thanks to Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto 3.
And bringing out a Platinum range in their second year, after reducing the console's price twice??? I think Sony realise they've got to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft this time, unlike some members on here who are sooooo confident but will soon realise Sony are fighting to stay at the top this time.

poriginality? Another new concept! I must be behind on my English lessons or something! Anyway, the N64 was bought by thousands just to play Mario 64... and although Sonic games were undoubtedly great, the 'Sonic Vs. Mario' war has little significance, since both titles are decidedly different styles of platformer.

hmm... got any strange hand abnormalities do you? Strange that almost everyone agrees that the N64 controllers are good, even the vast majority of those who prefer PS2 controls still find the N64 ones usable, yet you somehow don't. Sure you had the pad the right way up? Many a trained monkey has had that problem before...
i do, thats why i have given dreamcast, playstation

wow... applause to this kid! He's owned some consoles... doesn't mean he is well informedor knows anything about gaming... just proves he has owned a number of consoles...

but uk gamers will get box first, over a year befor the japanees

so it must be better right? Whatever is out first is always the best... *bows down before this incredible logic*
So all this time I thought I was getting the best games, when all I had to do was go buy the thing that was out first... right, I'm off to buy me some Pac Man games...
i think i have proved my point feel free to dump nintendo for sega
> microsoft or sony
Go ahead, your loss, just don't demean what Nintendo has done for the gaming industry. If Ninty weren't around gaming would be VERY different and undoubtedly worse.
Ah, I feel much better now... :-)
Theres no point in arguing now, we will have to wait until the consoles have been out long enough before we can say anything.
(That was to the original message)
I don't take a stance on which console is superior - I prefer to enjoy every console for what it is capable of. I hope that, eventually, the rest of mankind will evolve to this state of mind.
What galls me is the fact that people immediately mocking DJBoogie's original opinions stick up for another console straight away, claiming that theirs is the best. Forgive me for noticing a certain degree of hypocrisy here. Try to realise that the moment you start a sentence with 'The X-Box sux, PS2 rox' or something similar you become just as narrow-minded as Mr Boogie, and many people will ignore you because of it.
I did.
All the companies really care about is making money and putting a smile on somones face (unless the game is South Park where all it does is make you cry because you wasted £40 on it) and as long as you enjoy your console, then there is no real problem about other consoles because it doesn't affect you in any way. So, if you think PS2 is best... GREAT! If you think Nintendo and XBox are best.... Even better! Because i'm sure that there are many people out there who really couldn't give a **** about what you think, they enjoy their console and they dont need to argue about how good it is and call everything else crap.
Thankyou!
