I was as eager as anyone to get my hands on a GameCube so much so that I took my PS2 and nearly 70 games down to EB to trade in. I got £360 which wasn't that bad and I bought a GameCube and 6 titles.

I had problems with it from the off the picture quality was crap, and the games were much better. Luigis Mansion was alright but it's for kids the same can be said for Sonic Adventures 2 Battle, Super Smash Bros etc.

I promptly took my GameCube back and I'm not the only one, a friend of mine has had every games console ever produced and he still has them now, but he also bought a GameCube and took it back the same day.

I decided to go out and buy an Xbox and what a surprise that was, it's absolutely fantastic and I know have nearly 50 titles. I can't wait for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (xbox Exclusive).

With nearly 150 titles due out before Christmas and more than 300 in development, Xbox is the future of gaming. Every developer in the UK is currently developing for Xbox, the same can't be said for Nintendo.

Yet another biased joke about the xbox, I find the xbox a brilliant console and is my fave at the moment, The gamecube does'nt appeal to me but is an excellent console. Shut up, stop being so biased and i bet you have'nt even played an xbox.....

What a fantastic revelation! And your in-depth analysis of why it will fail has astounded me!

What, really, was the purpose of this post? I really can't see the GameCube failing, nor the PS2 or the XBox. All three have some great games and I look forward to when I own all three which will be sometime after Xmas. (Just the PS2 at the moment..... :-( )
