I agree that Nintendo are going to win the Next-Gen console war, but this isn't just the third Gen war. before this one you had the Saturn Vs N64 Vs Playstation prior to that was the Mega Drive(Genesis) Vs SNES and further back again was the NES Vs Master System that's a total of four generations of console "Wars" consisting mainly of Nintendo and Sega.
As I said I agree Nintendo will win the console war but there were Four ganerations of what you could consider console wars there were also rivaling consoles before the NES but these really couldn't be considered wars.

As much as I would like to agree with you Sony with the PS2 has already won this war!

Having had their console out for years before the Cube and X-Box it gave them a good head start!

But recent price drops of the Gamecube in the UK and US should help bolster sales imensly!

Buffylover, we've had plenty of topics like this, and the fact is that both consoles are excellent. The cube offers original, revolutionary and fun titles from Ninty and their 2nd parties, whereas the Xbox offers the "Sony generation" some excellent realistic racers, FPS games and beat em ups.

Oh, and as soon as you mentioned the size of the Xbox this post lost all credibility- consoles should be judged by the games and not what they look like.

So, all 3 of the consoles out are excellent, but they appeal to different markets. If you want to talk about the "winner" of the console war (and there's no such thing really) then the PS2 will have the most console sales by virtue of brand name and the head start.

Look, the argument is pointless. More developers are making games for the PS2 than the GC, but that doesn't mean the console is any better. Likewise, the Xbox sold 500,000 in Europe in its first week, but who really cares?

Fact is that all the consoles are great, but each appeals to different gamers. Each is selling extremely well, and I for one hope that all three continue to do well, as any true gamer should- I just want to play good games, and don't care what machine they come out on.

No it's not! Not only have we talked about this time and time again, but every time we reach the concensus that:

1) Real gamers don't care about console wars, just the quality of games
2) Both consoles are equally good, but for different markets
3) Only newbies start topics like this!

So please, please, please start some original topics. How about talking about some of Ninty's planned games, or their line up for E3. Try going into other topics and adding your views in there. But just don't start console wars topics.

But they did, and we have. And it's not a bad thing- Sony brought gaming into the mainstream, which pumps money into development and allows better games to be made by everyone.
