If you think X-boxs suck then say so, and why?
Dont ask why I'm making this post. It's just out of curiosity, I was wondering how many people feel like I feel towards the $H!Tbox, aka the xbox.

The SNES has, and always will be, the best.
The amount of sheer rubbish being said in this topic is stupid to the point of disbelief. Who cares about the power of the chips inside the consoles? My SNES is less powerful than all of them, but it's by no means worse... in fact the range of games is probably the best for any console ever.
Oh, and then to go on and say that the Xbox only has a handful of good games...
In all honesty I'm extremely unimpressed by the games on ALL the consoles. I remember the 16bit days when companies were churning out original titles to gain sales. Even in the 32/64bit era, Nintendo produced the most amazing games of the company's career in Mario, Zelda and Rare's third party stuff. Even Sega's abysmal Saturn had what is my favourite game of all time: NiGHTS!.
But back to the point at hand. YOU personally might not like the games available on the Cube/Xbox/PS2. But to then say that these consoles have no good games is rubbish. There's a difference between not liking a game, and it not being very good. I HATE GTA3, but admit that it's a good game, for example.
To say that there are only 5 great games on the Xbox is a stupid, idiotic thing to say for two reasons:
1) It proves to everyone that you can't open your eyes to games that might not be your particular style.
2) 5 great AAA games for a console more than makes it worth buying for any hardcore gamer. The only blocking point is financial...

Well, I still think it looks ugly, and I wouldn't want to be seen with it.

I have a couple of friens with X-boxes, and a brother but I just don't like it.
I'm entitled to my own opinion remember!
I don't like any of the games though Bluinx looks looks quite good.

Actually the processor power of the Gamecube is equivalent to the processor power of the Xbox so therefore if there is slow down on the gamecube, there will be slow down on the Xbox and also the PS2 for that matter. Yeah, Xbox looks like it has the better stats, a 733 Mhz processor compared to the gamecubes 405 Mhz processor, however gamecube uses a power pc based cpu and therefore works alot more effifient to xbox's cpu. Therefore making them just as good and just as powerful. I'm not making this up, I'm just giving the facts.

Can you defend the fact that although som Nintendo games are original they all have flaws and plot holes in them? Take Super Mario sunshine for example. When you are chassing the giant manta ray spreading electric goop the game slows down to a terrible point that X-Box would not alow.
