"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.

Air resistance?

Well they would both accelerate at the same speed anyway... on the moon. Air resistance, as Meka correctly pointed out, is a big problem on Earth, and happens to be my arch-nemesis.

No... not Meka.

Newtonion... hmm...

And Frankensteinstein.

That's supposed to be Newtonian - not a newt onion. Whatever one of those is.

Well we know why there are going to be a lot of GCs and Xboxes sold now. Newtonion physics experiments. Maybe they could take the 'launch' literally, and fire some from cannons.

I'm sure if you look hard enough there's probably a degree course in console ballistics.

Wouldn't the immense weight of the Xbox overcome the resistance issues, though?

Damn, those physics lessons seem SO long ago!

True, true. Maybe I'd need to drop a few to check this.

Are you taking wind resistance into account? I think the GC would be faster if you consider this....

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

Well if you drop them out of a window at the same time, they do have the same acceleration.

GAMES look disapointing, hense why Microsoft faked those picures, HARDWARE is the same power wise.

It's to do with the architechure of the chips... I've got it written down somewhere...
