Ok so we all remember that glorious day,the 14th of march when X-box hit the shelves now a new era is upon us this is the age of the super consoles;
X-box
Gamecube
So this is it the question that has been asked so many times which is better,do you go for the size and sheer power of x-box or do you go for the petite size and portability of gamecube?
The Box
xbox hit the shelves on the 14th of march in the uk and was unlike some people maythink a great success sales more than matching PS2's previous success and with the average xbox owner buying 2-3 games with the console its self.As we all know xbox is streaks ahead of the field in polygon performance and graphical exelence and up untill now this would have been enough and perhaps it will be but is the cubes size going to give it the edge over the box...?
The Cube
The Cube has only just hit the stores (on friday) so we are yet to se wether it has beaten xbox's previous sales records although it has not got the power of xbox there is an optional screen available for just under £100
and a 2 hour battery on sale for just under £50 so is this to be the new portable king,the new house-hold name or perhaps nintendos last failed attempt at making a console that can hold its own against industry giants like sony.
The Verdict
Well this i cant fill in because that is the whole reason i posted this for your opinions and so you can see mine and others views.

Garbe sounds just like those narrow minded people in my class. I just want to say that, to be frank, X-Box really IS just a computer minturised to fit in a large black box. It uses that same Nvidia just like computers can use and sound cards just like a PC. Gamecube and PS2 is NEW hardware developed by the companies themselves.
He's only been here for 5 days! Yeah good point about the x-boxes being overheated in the plastic display cases, but they had no back on the displays?

U really don't know jack-sh*t do u? Xbox sux. It is a huge piece of junk crafted by a complete homosexu@l. Billy Willy Gates. Microsoft think that they can take on the biggest companies in the gaming industry. PAH! Gamecube is already beating Xbox and will match PS2 sometime. I have played Halo and it is the biggest load of junk on the face of this earth. The joypad for Xbox is nothing short of copying Dreamcast.
But I'm really not one to try and push my weight around.........I'm new too

I am glad the majority of people posting here don't share garbe123's attitude...can you believe he told me to get out!?

I can't believe this guy has the nerve to tell me to leave the forums...
And don't start going ''xbox is better and cube sucks and ps2 is stupid'' because you will just sound like a narrow minded, biased fool.

I think you'll find that the PC version of Halo will be a whole lot better then the Xbox version, my PC gamer friend is getting it for it's online capabilities! And for the last time you are obviously an Xbox fan boy and even if your're 15 you need to grow up a bit. The Xbox has the power but none of the games really excite me (DOA3 is good) unlike games coming to the Gamecube or PS2. So please stop coming on here if you are just going to dis other consoles and say that Xbox is the best because sadly it's not, look at the sales figures my friend, in Japan the PSone is outselling it! Now most Xbox people are nice people but then we get absolute idiots like you, either go back to the Xbox forum or just go!
