Now that all the consoles are available to buy we took to the streets to find out what the people really think. The public afterall are what makes a console sell as they are the ones who buy it.
Joe - 23, married with one child
So Joe what console do you think will be best?
"Well I bought an XBOX, its strong, big and is the most powerfull. A bit like a silver back gorilla except it isn't a gorilla. My kid can't play it though, his hands are not strong and shovel like, mine are so I can play."
Ok Joe, thanks..
Tam - 30 - Homeless, sells the big issue
Hello sir do you have some time to talk about consoles?
"There ee big isssue, don't be shy give it a try."
Can you tell us which you think is best.
"Aright big yin, got any odds? Couldnae tap us a fag could ya?"
Gamecube? XBOX?
"Aye I can get them dirt cheap of a bloke I know at the market, you interested?"
*We left Tam, taking a copy of his big issue for safety reasons.
Molly- 6, school pupil
Which console do you like best?
"I like the purple one, it is small and It looks nice. I draw it with crayons."
*Shows us a picture*
Thats nice, so the gamecube is your favourite?
"No he is tinky winky. I like po too."
Trevor - 36, NERD
So Trevor which console is your favourite?
"Well I analysed the processors, cache and pipeline structures of the Gamecube, XBOX and PS2 and was pleasantly surprised. I have overclocked and super-water cooled my XBOX and modified the instruction set to allow me to write my own games more easily, for me the XBOX is my new friend. I call him Dave."
Z-Z-Z-Z-zzzzzzz
"You ok?"
Oh sorry Trevor, so the XBOX then or "Dave" as you call him. Do you see it selling well?
"As long as good games come out and the ladies still let me talk to them for money then I will be happy, I care not for anyone else, well apart from the crew from star trek. I met them once you know."
During our research we managed to contact a few celebrities.
Barney - Big dinosaur type childrens entertainer
Hello Barney
"Hi kids"
We are not kids
"1 and 1 is 2"
Right, so you play games consoles?
"Yes I have gamucube, it is pretty colours. 2 and 2 is 4"
Is it the best console?
"You mean there are more? Do you get Mario on them?
No
"Well gamcube is mine, and kiddies like it and I like kiddies"
We were interupted when F.B.I agents entered and took Barney away for questioning, his comments over liking kiddies appear to have landed him in trouble.
Geoff Capes - Strong man
Do you play consoles Geoff?
"Yes, I had a gamecube but it was small and girly like, I want chunky. I bought and XBOX but it was huge so I use it for training, lifting it is rather tough but I am butch and macho so I always do well. My shovel like hands make me the best XBOX gamer there is. I also have a PS2, It looks cool and plays well and the guys at the gym all have one."
So the PS2 is your favourite?
"It is yours too, I'll smash you if you disagree!"
*We run away, very fast................

Me, but sadly I am no NERD, exams would be so much easier. I addopted the strategy of copy and paste from webpages, changed a bit and added some of my knowledge.

I rule.
