Its alot bigger, meaning obviously its got alot more power behind it. We both know its got more power behind it than the GC and the PS2, so with the right development (using it to the best of its potentional) It will have the best games.

If someone made a game to the best potentials of the xbox, it just wouldnt be able to be ported to another console and be asgood graphically or as fast (fps) - and many other downers.

that is all

ISS2 on the Gamecube is almost a different game, it plays slower, alot of bugs and defects. All that is the same is the commentry and the fact its based on football. The control system is different because of the lack of buttons on the gamecube. This obviously means that alot of the game is different/missing. All the skills have gone and what it says in the instruction manual seems to be wrong aswell. Seems very rushed and just not a pleasue to play. (which video games should be).

and yes i can take your silly approach of saying:

"i never once took what you said and said that it was wrong, i just opposed them with my personal views."

Hi,

Why is everyone having a period about what i said in my last message (essay.) Its like your completely dismissing my views on each particular console without the slightest consideration with my points in mind.
When i first raised the issue of other peoples views of the variety of systems, i never once took what other people said and said that it was wrong, i just opposed them with my personal views.
Reading some of your comments i can see that some of you obviously think im wrong for some reason. (im not gonna say anynames because i know youre going to have a field day about it)
That is all i have to say on the subject.

*Smashes the soapbox with a spiked bat*

oh yeah, by the way... what is a 'fanboy'?????????







ps. Xbox is the best :p

gamezfreak...if you agree with me that what he has said is bs...(from the examples i gave before)...then how can you possibly applaud it (as you said earlier).
you quoted earlier: I appluad up_in_smokes post, very intresting and i don't consider it biased at all. Most things in that post i totally agree with.

it a biased piece of c*ap and how can you agree with "most things"

That's because you're a biased fanboy

See that word you just wrote CLASSICS, hat's the reason why they're updated because every Mario, Zelda etc etc that comes out are classics. If you took the time to look at the release list you would actually find that there are a wide variety of games coming out for Gamecube not just Nintendo's main franchises, but then I wouldn't expect you to do that because you're a fanboy and base your arguments solely on Xbox rules everything else sucks.

The xbox
> has HUGE potential and it MILES more powerful than the GC,

Miles more? I hardly think so my blinkered friend I'm not one to start quoting specs at you but trust me there isn't that much of a difference between the two.

the xbox
> has LOTS of games to come.

I should hope it has, it's only been out a few months.
