Stop it now you silly children!!!!

I suppose that's true aswell. If everyone spends so much time cussing each other then no-one will have enough time to play the machines and get the most from them. I still don't like the Ps or Ps2 and may tell everyone not to buy it but if it is around it does bring something to the world of gaming. I would still rather though that everyon did buy an N64 or DC or X-box or Gamecube or even all of them.

The solution is to just have both like I do :o)

He's right though that is what makes it worse. By the way N64 magazine is much better than Nintendo Official Magazine.

The N64 definitly is the better console. It has better graphics due to being 64-bit compared to 32-bit. It has Rare developing for it. It has so many excellent games, Goldeneye, Zelda, Zelda3, 1080 Snowboarding, Blast Corps, Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Party2, Mario Party3, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Perfect Dark, The World Is Not Enough, Ridge Racer 64, Jet Force Gemini, Worms, WWF No Mercy, V-Rally, Top Gear Rally, Top Gear Rally2, Formula 1 World Grand Prix, Formula 1 World Grand Prix2, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo Kazoie, Banjo Tooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day and I really can't be bothered to type any more. The N64s games are better in all categories than the PS. I really don't see why people actually like the PS, it has some good games but not enough and it has too many bad sequels. Sequels are alright if they are good but too many of the PS sequels are rubbish.

Nah, I think my story on the FOG Chat forum is a lot better. {:)

Only joking. But still, posts need to be a lot more detailed than this to win GAD. And I would know, I've won it 7 times.

So there you have the forecasted
> fact and fiction downfall of the Playstation

The PS2 has already won console wars.

It already has a massive userbase, and with the release of the broadband connection along with the PS2's biggest and best games (MGS2, GT3, Smackdown 3, Racer 2, Devil May Cry) AND the big price drop soon to come, the PS2 has a superb future.

In fact, just look at a release date list for the PS2. There are masses of games, and all of them look like they're gonna be top class!!

Also, GameCube, the cheapest???

When it is FINALLY released (Autumn 2002, I bet), the GC's games will be around £50, maybe more knowing Nintendo-the N64's prices were abysmal!!

So I wouldn't go round saying that the PS2 is gonna fail, because it hasn't failed, and there's a lot more to come. I'm afraid the GC and X-Box have a lot of work to do, especially if they're to beat the best game ever, MGS2.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

I reckon it will go something like this... This time next year Nintendo will release the gamecube and microsoft will release the x-box thus eliminatin the ps-one and the ps-2 as they are both crap anyway then the x-box will just copy most of the crap games that have already appeared on d-c and ps-2 and only release a handfull of original games which will probably be crap as well, meanwhile Nintendo will focus on making new and original games as well as resurrecting some classics and will keep on making new and revolutionary technological advances thereby they will eliminate Microsofts crap console and will remain the best and always will be the best games company ever to grace this planet!
