"The Great Console War"

The Playstation has there sequal to there console which has sold more than any other, Nintendo are going to show everyone how to do a good handheld as well as create more of the greatest games in the world while Microsoft prepares to beat all opposition in the gaming industry...

WHO WILL WIN

After the popularity of the playstation there is no reason why the public wont go for playstation again but are they fed up of seeing the same old games? Do Sony have the innovations to keep them afloat? So far so good although sales haven't been stunning but the orders are now all over the world starting to pick up and their sequals are all amazing.

Nintendo are back and after the late success of the 64 it looks as if their success could continue on the Gamecube. At the moment in Japan the Gameboy Colour is number 1 ahead of PS2 so the Gameboy advanced will surly smash sales records again. But can Nintendo keep inovating? Can they keep their slightly more adult image on the Gamecube? Yet just remmember the Gamecube is the only actual game console not a multimedia console .

The X box, Microsofts new wonder machine could flop like the Philips CDI or hit the top like the playstation im betting on the latter but... Can Microsoft sell cheap? Can they make games? Are they just creating a new PC? we will have to wait!

So Who will win what do you think?

although nintendo ( and it's subsidaries) are clearly the best in the business, they are by no means the most wealthy, sony and microsoft both have a LOT of money, and microsoft can (and will, as they demonstrated with munch's odysse) buy exclusivity with no problem. although nintendo/rare et al will produce some excellent games, without any big 3rd party games, the gamecube will flop.

microsoft are VERY powerfull, and scary.

Nintendo = Class
Gamecube = Class

No contest.

Now Simon explain this how do you say that Nintendo's second Party developers is just a bonus in one forum but say RARE are one of the 5 reasons why Gamecube is the best

Why ah ah why

The gamecube has already owon the console war, (and this is inclueding the PS2 (.1) ans x-box). Nintendo are the biggest and best in the bussiness. And it doesn't matter how falls and who joins, Nintendo will all ways be there, and always will be the best. Sony, Microsoft and Sega are all good in there own ways, but Nintendo has them all. And the last thing, Nintendo have a few things that no one else could ever have.
1. 16 years of on going comitment to the bussiness
2. Oringal ideas
3. RARE!
4. Simply the greatest games of ALL time, from classics (Mario, Donkey Kong), to new hits which will never die, (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, WWF NO MERCY)

NINTENDO WILL LIVE FOR... EVER!

Juz:

What's really somewhat interesting about X-Box is that Microsoft will be competing with itself more often than not. It still has a strong interest in PC gaming, which means that - ala 'Halo' - any original games they'll be bringing to the X-Box will likely appear on PC as well. This, to me, seems to be a conflict, since the very fact constitutes a major part of my reasoning for NOT buying a X-Box. Since the X-Box is essentially a stripped-down PC, porting games from the console to the other is remarkably simple. It's like Microsoft's going to be shooting itself in the foot, IMO.

Sega will win but it'll takes 'AGES'. HA HA HA HA!

PS2 have really screwed up but people will still by it, if not for its draft exculding capabilities.

Increasingly people are buying the DC because of its price fall but knowing Sega some how they will not be making profit?

Nintendo continue to rule the roost but have learned that it is important to encourage other parties to develope games on their beastly machines. However as long as the big N continue to provide the best games along with RareWare they have my vote.

X-Box is buried on an island somewhere and to find it there us some sort of logical mark in the sand? Seriously though please could someone name a great PC /Microsoft game that is not already on a console?

I rest my case of heavy paper!

Nintendo have the newest weapon to destroy everyone. Except Sony who will cling on.

Thanks, Rasta. I did just that, but they haven't listed my selection on the Gameaday postings. Also haven't gotten any e-mail detailing that they have received and accept my selection.

BTW, if anyone for Gameday is out there, a quick change (if I may): I'd rather get Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for N64, rather than ZOE for the PS2. I've just realized that a)I don't have a PS2 and b)the cousin I was going to give it to as a gift is a jerk. So, yes, Zelda would be nice.

I don't think Microsoft will make it personnaly and i believe the PS2 wont do aswell as the PS but i do think the Gamecube will do better than the 64.
