"The Gamecube IS a toy because..."

...it says so in the manual!

Numerous references to it as "the toy".

:-)

Only noticed it last night while reading my manual.

Toy

n 1: an artifact designed to be played with [syn: plaything]

There, you play with a GameCube right? Its a toy ya'll, its a toy!

Are females toys......
Hmmmmp...I'd say yes.
Well, I think the gamecube is so much better than the X-box. As a member of staff at sawbo shop, I have played both, and I think that for quite a few resons, Gamecube is better. For a start, Nintendo have been in the consoles market far longer than Microsoft, so they know what they are doing. Also, yes, I think the controller is so much more comfortable than the X-box & a little bit better than the PS2 (the N64 controller was nice too). And also, the games, personally, are better on the gamecube. I like platformers and adventures, e.g. Luigi's mansion, and soon, Mario Sunshine. Mario 64 was probably my favourite game ever (or GTA3), and if Sunshine mario is just as good, then I would probably buy a gamecube just for Mario. Also, another point to favour the gamecube....ITS PRICE (oh yeah, and the size...its not the size of a digital set-top box reciever, like something else we know is).
Gamecube has won me over I'm afraid
Mr T

I read my manual from back to front.

Makes more sense that way.

Yep, it's called "Men are from Pluto, Women are from Jupiter" or something.

But blokes being blokes, we ignore the instructions and just get on with trying to make it work.
Until we sit on the floor with bits strewn about and phone our mates to see if they know.

Dunno. Do they have manuals?

Ninty expect to gain 20-30% of the Console market in Europe.

yep..its called the Panasonic Q...

£340 on import.

Yes, but that's what Nintendo should be doing.... at least as an optional alternative version (aren't Panasonic doing something like that? I heard rumors).

Nintendo know full well what image they have these days. They shouldn't be accepting that. They should be trying to compete with Sony. A 20% market share would easily be enough to make a healthy profit. Are they afrais they might not be able to do that?

Are the masters of innovation just playing safe?

Calling it a "entertainment system" would kinda contradict the image of it being a GAMES only machine. Entertainment system is more reserved for xbox/PS2

What happened to the days when Nintendo referred to their consoles as 'Entertainment Systems'?

That's the Nintendo I miss.... none of this "It's cartoony because we can claim it has more gameplay" lark.
