Its quite simple, anyone who thinks the GC or the XBOX will shrivel and die after a year or two are idiots.  They may not beat PS2 in sheer sale\'s numbers but they WILL be succesful.  This is a kick-ass time for us gamers because we got 3 huge companies pulling out all the **** to will us over.

I love being a consol whore and having no loyalties in this.



ps. Nice sig Megiddo.

There is NO WAR...Playstation2 is the champ, and you should all jubilate this event.

Xbox vs? Gamecube?...No war either, it\'s laughable to suggest xbox will beat the sales of Gamecube, it\'s just not a smart thing to do.

So all in all...there is no "war"...just a celebration Sony will experience for the next 4 years:)

Don\'t just consider sales. Sales can be affected by price. The actual capabilities of, and games for, the consoles are more important.

If this helps, here\'s a list of every "generation" of console that I know of:

4-bit generation: Atari 2600 etc.
8-bit generation: Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Game Boy (portable) etc.
16-bit generation: Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis
64-bit generation (introduction of disc-based systems and color portables): Sony PlayStation (disc-based), Nintendo 64 [introduction of 8-bit Game Boy Color]
Early 128-bit generation: Sega Dreamcast (disc-based)
Middle 128-bit generation: Sony PlayStation 2 (disc-based)
Late 128-bit generation: Microsoft X-Box, Nintendo Gamecube (all disc-based) [introduction of 32-bit Game Boy Advance] [PlayStation 3 to come later]

There is no such thing as a 4-bit console.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Why doesn\'t anyone seem to know that the Atari systems were 4-bit? Don\'t you think the NES could do a lot better than any Atari?

Oops. Did I type Sega Saturn? I meant Sega Genesis.

The Ataris were all 8-bit.

Okay, back to the topic. Remember that a "losing" console still has sales, just not the most sales. I know this is a PS2 site and that anything I say supporting the GC would be interpreted as biased, but I think that GC will at some point within the next 6 months (just guessing) be considered "better" than PS2, despite not having as much sales as the X-Box (at that point PS2 will probably be dead).

nintendo (game cube) make game for teenager

microsoft (x-box) has a VERY BAD reputation (window.....)

does teenager have money to buy every game they want?

their parent have to work to have money,does they will waste like 350$can for a console?
+ 60-70$can for a game?

and then,buying a game every 2-3month?

That\'s exactly the same method PS2 followed to become incredibly successful. Why would it all of a sudden make MS fail?

What I should have said is that there\'s no harm in being a late adopter (of GC or XBox). The 6 months was just a wild guess.
