"The Gamecube and the X-Box are just as powerful."

I'm fed up of saying this, so I'm posting this one the forums, and I'm going to pop it everytime someone thinks different to the above.

Because it's getting to me. :0D

I might even explain WHY the Gamecube is as fast as the X-Box later... ;0)

BTW: The X-Box looks rather disapointing at the moment.

I can't see that happening, but it would be nice!

I dont know if its true but all those who own a PS2 will get free hard drive when it is released. And when its released all the PS2s at that time will have them built in.

My Lecturer for Vectors and Applications is definitely a computer program of some sort. The guy never seems to touch stuff, and always moves like a robot. However, he is made of trillions of polygons, he looks very life like. I don`t know ho they project him into the room though.

DEVELOPERS are saying they can get more polys from the Gamecube... and this isn't second parties, this is third, I.E. EA and so on.

Hmm. Have you actually looked at the official specs on the official site lately?

PS2 can shift 75 million raw polys/sec, and (currently) around 20 million with all effect turned on. GameCube is as yet unknown I believe, but likely to be at least the same. Xbox is 125 million - though it doesn't say whether that's raw poly's or with all effects.

Again, it comes - officially - with an 8Gb HD.

I did say that, I said that PS2 was 5 times less lowerful and gamecube 6.

You mean PS2 is more powerful than the Gamecube, if so I did underestimate the power of PLAYSTATION.

Right Grix, can I correct you here and now.

The X-Box can handle over 3 TRILLION polygons per second.
Thats 5 times more powerful than the Playstation 2 and 6 times as powerful in terms of computations as the Gamecube.

Also, the X-Box comes equipped with a broadband modem connection and a 40 gig hard drive.

Yes, there are no games for the X-Box(Microsoft have even been faking their concept art, theres no first party games for it to show, and thats bad considering that the TGS is just around the corner!!!)

Im not a fan of the X-Box or will I ever be, I dont agree with the global monopolisation of Microsoft at all, but the specs for the X-Box FAR outweigh anything else produced- espically as it is powered by a NVidia graphics custom made chipset and an Intel CPU. Shame that it cant get any Japanses developers for it though- unlike Sony and Nintendo- oh so thats why they tried to buy out Sega a couple of months ago!

Why? And am I going to regret this?

Yes.
