Its that time of the year again, yes its right its Christmas. Santa bringing pressies to everyone etc etc.
But to the games console market this Christmas will break or make the futures of the Nintendo Gamecube and the Microsoft Xbox!
According to the group Strtegic Analytics (or whatever they are called again) say that the PS2 has clearly won the consoles war. And yes that is TRUE! Who can match Sony's 40million+ consoles sold, not even xbox or the cube can do that as quick as Sony did. Now lets look at why Sony have been so sucessful. After the success of the PS1, many users were rearing to go and buy the PS2.
The PS2 embarrased the Dreamcast, but why did this happen, well Sony threw in a DVD player, which was a good thing. But the Dreamcast had a lot of potential in it, but just did not work out. Another thing JAPAN has had a BIGGGGG influence on the PS2. The home of Sony, many Japanese people have bought the PS2, if this continues, every single household will have the PS2. Which just isn't right. Having 71% of the market share, which company can withhold Sony. Well thats down to either Microsoft or Nintendo.
The battle is on for 2nd PLACE. Yes thats right. Its Cube vs Box. Both systems have potential. My fave is the Cube, others will like the PS2 or the Xbox. But Nintendo have got the lead over Microsoft, as the cube has sold over 10 millions whereas the Xbox has only sold over 8 million boxes.
So this will be the biggest battle for 2nd place, for 2nd place in the market share. its nothing compared to 2nd place in the Formula 1 Driving campionship. Believe both consoles have great games, both will be realising online capabilities. But this Christmas will decide who's the better out of the cube and the box. Right now Nintendo have second place, but will this continue (I think it will). (Nintendo gonna have a massive cube party, this will help them sell a few more cubes, Xbox really aint got a proper marketing strategy yet, the PS2 will be doing quite a few things as well this xmas to make their console sell).
What do you all think? Which will come out to be on 2nd place? Can Sony ever stop selling the PS2? Well thats for us consumers to decide.

No you didn't - someone did earlier in this topic though which was why I did the replies with specific games.

Um, considering you've been ranting about how Nintendo rule, isn't it a bit of a set back when your whining about one of their games having "gay little flower people" ?

I think this reply deserves nothing but a big laugh in utter contempt.

Didn't mean it as a genre as such, but it can't really be listed as a pure racing experience can it. And if I am in the mood for this type of game, then where will I find it on GC ?

Didn't mean it as a genre as such, but it can't really be listed as a pure racing experience can it. And if I am in the mood for this type of game, then where will I find it on GC ?

I've seen mixed reviews on Blinx. I'll be buying it but I doubt it'll be the second best X-Box game its been hyped up to be as there are too many excellent titles coming out.

So everything on X-Box is realistic stuff you see out of your window ? You must see some real strange images mate !
Futuistic races, a cat with a big stop watch, a fairy (Kameo), Abe, those weird characters in Whacked! etc. What are you on mate ? Whatever it is it must be powerful stuff. :-)
