I have been thinking about buying a Gamecube or and Xbox and I was just wondering which one you guy's think is better.
The Gamecube has had some great feedback from owners but I am slighty put off by the N64. I had an N64 and I didn't really like it to be honest, I felt there where far to many kids games and I thought that overall there just weren't enough games. I have heard Nintendo have tried to put this right buy selling more games and they are aiming at the more older generation for their releases. I don't mind games like Sonic and Mario but their not the sort of games that I would go out and buy, but then on the other hand I have heard that Star Wars: Roque Squadron Leader is supposed to be excellent and Resident Evil is supposed to be a brilliant as well. So can people tell some releases that are due out on Gamecube please.
The Xbox has been given a bit of abuse from what I've heard, but with games like Halo and Wreckless I can't understand why. I haven't had a go of an Xbox yet as few people have them so can I get some feedback on this.

I too was once torn between GC or x-box, but now I've made my decision, the Gamecube. It has a much better selection of games and is at a great price, plus the graphics of most of these games look stuning. I'll be getting my GC just as soon as I sell my PSone.
I got a cube, one official controller, Luigis Mansion, Burnout and Rogue Leader (three top class games) and a huge memory card - for only £240. With the XBox, that is only one game - Price can make a difference.
Plus, the current rlease schedule is completely in Gamecubes favour - SSBM, Resi Evil, any Mario game you want is still to come, Turok 4, ED, Zelda (or two!) plus many others.

Plus the no loading times is sweeet :-)
The ugly Black/Green box has no loading times as well - But God the Cube is fast!
I made my own console.
It has lifelike graphics and cannot be beaten.
Only problem is that it only has one game - Barbies Great Adventure!
Point being that you go for games, not the specs. So far I feel that the GC has far more better games that the Xbox and will continue to in the future.
