Can I Play Music CDs on the Game Cube?

Actually no. Go read any NES hardware, SMS hardware, or 7800 hardware FAQ available and i am SURE that somewhere in there they will talk about how NES had 90% of the market, SMS and 7800 split the other 10%, presumably 8% and 2% respectively.

AB is correct.. the NES did have a whopping 90% of the console market during the 8-bit days.

I forget where I read it, but I did..

yeah, you read it as it fell out of his arse

regardless, it makes no difference,  the market is 298742396 times different than it was, what, over 15 years ago?

70% of "todays" market is a staggering percentage, and the PS2 is selling exponentially to xbox + gc

You don\'t think that the fact that PS2 came out quite a while before the others has anything to do with that, do you?

And if you\'re trying to defend X-Box, take a look at the sales figures in Japan.

You didn\'t have a CD player until you got a PS2?  That\'s sad.  If you still don\'t have another one, get one.  PS2 sound quality for CDs isn\'t great.

Adapt or die?  They are just targetting a different audience by not adding on useless things that the majority wouldn\'t use, and thus keeping cost down.  What\'s wrong with that?

..by not adding on useless things that the majority wouldn\'t use

Well the statistics i have provided evidently show otherwise!

The majority are not purshasing the nintendo system as much as the others that have DVD and CD music playback. Is it a coincidence?..i think not!!  

If there are no \'goodies\' the masses speak with their feet and wallets....thats a fact!!

The statistics you provided suggest people want the console with the mose GAMES, not the most features.

PS2 has the most games = PS2 has the majority of the market
XBox has the second most games = Xbox has the second \'strongest\' standing in the market.
GameCube has the least = GameCube has the least holding in the market.

It has nothing to do with the features.

Many things can have an effect on sales.  Find something that points directly to these numbers being caused by the lack of features on Gamecube, then maybe you\'ll have an arguement.

Hey Coke.. did you know that the PS2 doubles as a Waffle Iron??!?  GO MAKE SOME WAFFLES!!!

Why couldn\'t you think of something like Bob\'s "Go make waffles"?

I don\'t know about the other mods, but I\'m not big on name calling.  Clever insults are one thing, but name calling is just too easy and tasteless.

Coke, you didn\'t buy a Gamecube because it wasn\'t a DVD or CD player, but you bought a PS2 because it was.  Fine.  You enjoy your PS2, I\'ll enjoy both.  Just don\'t come crying to us when the really good games on the Cube start coming out and you can\'t play them because the PS2\'s CD tray is just too big for them.
