Recently, Xbox's popularity seems to have grown on these forums, Even some well known and respected Nintendo fans are purchasing Xbox's or at least showing some intrest.
Today at school, (Im in Year 11) We were argueing about consoles. The majority of my mates were in favour of the PS2, while others were open minded and had an Xbox.
Me and my best mate were oblivious to hear these comments: -
"PS2 has the same graphics, the emotion engine matches the Xbox"
"PS2 is the same size as Gamecube, Xbox is a mammoth!"
"The PS2 controller has pressure buttons unlike Xbox"
"I sleep with my PS2 at night"
"Gamecube is rubbish, as the PS2 has better graphics and GTA3"
We obviously put forward our arguements about Xbox/Xbox Live and the Xbox's better points over the PS2. We asked why did they get a PS2, and the results were'nt surprising.
"My mate has one"
"The sales were high, so I brought one"
I think some PS2 lovers are quite stupid in the way they think, Some people don't like the Xbox as their mate does'nt, Or the Xbox is the size of mount everest. Stupid it really is.
Its actually quite good to speak to multi-console owners/gamecube owners/Xbox owners they speak open minded.
We are independant gamers!

Yes, and you opinion is
"The Gamecube will do another N64 because Nintendo don't have an online stragety or Ghost Recon"
Not having a clue of course, because Ghost Recon is on the Gamecube. And pointing that out made me a fanboy did it? Hmmm...
Go on, find a fanboy comment from me in that thread. Bet you can't.

Considering I've been making my opinions known about the GC I own in the Nintendo Forum and Whitestripes has been spouting the Ninty fan boy line I can't see how he can say that. Own an Xbox and GC, plus N64 and PC, and used to have a PS2.

Despite what you've written, there are actually some very good reasons that people, like myself, buy a PS2. Unfortunately, most people take consoles at face value without really looking into them - and just buy a PS2 because of the 'cool' image.
It's a crying shame.. but all three are great consoles, nonetheless.

QActally I avoid talking about games in school because all the games freaks(sorry :P) in my year are weird loners.
None of my friends in school think im majorly into games, they know I like them and have an xbox, but none thik i vist xbox websites and games forums and such. Only my mates acroos the road know that side of me.
Anyway, most xbox comments I get in school are so stupid and narrowminded I just shrug them off and ignore them. If I got into a big console wars topic everyone whould just spin round point and laugh.
Comment I've got are-
"does xbox play PC games?"
"Why did u get and xbox, it doesn't have vice city"
"xbox is so big and crap,the controller is like a truck hahaha"
and so on.

In the end it just comes down to the games a console has (for me anyway) and currently the XBox has very few games to interest me - BUT I would have no qualms about buying one if it did. And if I had the money. The size of the console, processing power, engine or whatever makes not a jot of difference if the games aren't there.
