1. Nintendo were around before SEGA
2. Nintendo make a bigger, better, and more varied selection of games than SEGA.
3. SEGA came to Nintendo out of their own choice.

That's true, but nowadays, DVD players are replacing video recorders, and coming as an essential with PC's - making a DVD console add-on useless. Plus, DVD players push up the price of consoles, as the PS2's isn't very good anyway - in fact, it's quite appaling.

PS2 ports? They're called multi-format games, mate. I could just as well call games on the PS2, GameCube ports but I won't, because it's not a very good argument. And 'same games that look like PS2 originals'? I'd like to see a game on the PS2 to rival the originality of any of Nintendo's games. Yes, the PS2 has more games but most of them are really rather poor and though the GTA series is good, Vice City is basically just what GTA3 should have been - making it a waste of money to buy both.

Whatever.. the GameCube still manages to be more powerful than the PS2, even in it's smaller size.

We all do, but using it makes you look like an inbred cretin.

I do, but some people can be rather picky on this site. Don't worry about it - there's no rules to say you can't.

Whereas the GC gets exclusives such as Metroid, Mario, Zelda and Starfox,
and of course Mario Kart

Timesplitters 2, looks much better on GC

But, but, erm... the X-box is better!

What do you mean, they nicked Sonic. It was Sega who wanted Nintendo to have Sonic because Sega are not making another console. They're only in the games market now and produce games for other consoles.
