Best console this year my ar$e, is that why it's selling so well?

I'd wirte a long post but I can't be bothered, in my opinion you should go for Gamecube but at the end of the days it's up to you. Both consoles ave packed release schedules and specs to be honest don't make much difference, the xbox is a bit more powerful but it's not gonna make a huge amount of difference, both consoles can shove uperb graphics around.

If you prefer more serious games including a lot of PC conversions then go for Xbox. If you're a fan a Nintendo type games such as Mario etc and also want a wide variety of titles ranging from adult (Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness) or more fun games aimed at a wide variety of ages (Mario Sunshine, Zelda) then go for Gamecube.

Both consoles have a lot going for them it just depends what you're after.

Don't listen to Savatt, he's a stupid little Ninty fanboy!

:c)

Personally I would go for the playstation 2 but as it is out of the X box and the Gamecube, I would go for the Gamecube.

Yup, I was Jack@$s. Edgy, I know he was, I was doing it to be difficult. Heh.

Overall its comes down to what games you like mate. As a console, the X-Box has more going for it with its potential and the online service will be the best of the 3 consoles.
The hard drive will save you money on memory cards as you can save your games on it, allow you to save your favourite music tracks to use in certain games and also adds certain finishes to games (along with making games that aren't possible on other consoles).
The controller is a matter of opinion, but Microsoft are also releasing the smaller controller S in November for those that want it.

As for the games, no doubt the Ninties will tell you whats coming to GC. Heres some of the top titles coming to X-Box.

Plus Rare have moved from Nintendo to Microsoft and will be releasing Kameo next year with games such as Conker's BFD, Banjo and Perfect Dark no doubt to follow. Sega have also recently announced plans for releasing some of their best classic titles to the X-Box, so expect some pretty decent titles from them.

Ironic ain't it (if it be true).

OH MY GOD! I have just found out what onw of DW's previous names was, and it is quite funny. Wanna hear it?

J@CKA$S, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

X-BOX!!! It has the same basic capabilities as the Gamecube however it has a few added extras with no extra cost! If you look at the price of an X-Box compared with a Gamecube you will see that they are the same price or X-Box is cheaper (normally) and the X-Box has a DVD Player which the gamecube does not! Nintendo may also have the "Best game ever" Super Mario Sunshine but they sold there share in RARE and have only got Multi format or internally developped games left to supply them with. Ok they still have DK etc from RARE but from now on it will be internally developed by them alone while their console is kept alive by the latest multiformat release. All in all X-Box has more features, the best games company's working for them and the best multiformat games aswell which makes it the best console this year.

P.s. For people who don't like the controller size I say just buy the S controller for the X-Box wich comes out in October. It is smaller and easier to use like the other consoles.

P.P.s. Get Buffy The Vampire Slayer as your first game YAY!!!
