I will start although i have a PS2 i would have to say:
XBOX
As it has the most prospects.
> Well, i admitt then can be interesting. But there not gonna win a GAD!
not this one anyway...
Reasons for each console:
GameCube: It's made by Nintendo
Playstation 2: It has more games
X-box: Halo
Reasons against:
GameCube: It only has kiddie games on it
Playstation 2: The DVD player's crap
X-box: Halo
As soon an i loaded this up i though "Yup, its a newbie post" Damn im good. Only newbies do console wars! Take a tip, you won't win GAD with this! Its not funny or interesting to read. As the idea has been reworked here for over a year! And no-ones interested anymore! Believe me i've seen several people try, icluding meself!

What people aren't taking into consideration is Panasonic's "Q" wasn't included as the GameCube on that chart so many people have quoted figures from.
I think I read on cube-europe that if it had been included under the name GameCube on that chart, the scores would be a bit more even between the Playstation 2 and GameCube.
Anyway, as you said the GameCube is doing very well in Japan and America, probably better than the N64 did, and so far in Japan (not America) it's doing a hell of a lot better than the X-box.
American's are bound to favour the X-box though, seing as it's made by their God, sorry President. (Come on, with all that money he must have some influence :) ) Microsoft aren't always the favourite company by the Americans, but it's their first major console ever (as far as I'm aware)!
