i pick X-Box because bill gates has more abvertizing power and will introduce more people to it than Nintendos console...therefore the games will be of better quality!!! thats 1 of my main reasons.

What will u buy?
Gamecube or X-Box

Console has ()1() advantage agenst PC...the programmers can focus on that system and onley that 1 system...instead of them making it compatibitable w/my comp. and your comp. and bobs comp. and billys comp. ect. ect.

you're lame. I pick gamecube right now because nintendo has a great product so far, they've been in the console market for years upon years, and it's only supposed to be $200, and it's supposed to have more adult orientated games. Maybe later i'll buy X-Box but i'll see. I'm not huge into the console scene though.

This has been debated over 2000 times here. Anyway, I'm rooting for the Xbox, but The Cube looks pretty good too.

BTW, Dictionary.com is a very good site. ;)

Guess what, Jimbo? :D Now all of your opinions are worthless! How about that! :D
Figure it out, bud. Nobody respects the opinions of a person that responds to disagreement with such blabbering idiocy. BTW, the GameCube will be my console of choice. I forsee Xbox gasping for air.

I'm going with the GameCube, strictly for the sole reason that you listed Jimbo.

The X-Box will have Gate's Billions and Billions of dollars from Windows funding it, Nintendo only rely's on its games. Nintendo has to make money through the GameCube for that is their sole source of profit, Microsoft's X-Box will be funded through not only the money it makes, but also Window's profits. Kind of like SONY not having the PS2 as their main source of income.

Another reason is that Microsoft's X-Box booth at E3 2001 sucked according to EGM. E3 is where you either make or break your chances of succeeding in the gaming market. Obviously Mr. Gates' has his mind on other things and could care less about the X-Box as long as it's making some profit.

Also, has anyone ever tried Microsoft's first attempts at anything, they suck-diddly-uck. Buggy as heck.

My last reason is price, I made the mistake of paying $300 for the Saturn, which in return wasn't that bad of a deal considering what games came out on it.. But, $300 for Microsoft's first attempt on a console, I'm not buying it. I'd rather buy the GameCube, an extra controller and a Game rather than just the X-Box for $300.

I can ramble on and on about this subject, and the fact that the X-Box has 100+ Third Party Developers doesn't scare me one bit. None of them are good except Konami, SEGA and Activision.

does jimbo remind anyone else of the mindless drones of society viewing all the &quot;pretty pictures&quot; on tv about xbox and being brainwashed into believe that if you can spend millions upon millions on advertising your product must be good?

&quot;haha.that exatly why i want a Gamecube so i can play COOL pokemon games. Pikechu RULZ....YEAH BABY.&quot;

Listen to me closely, Jimbo. The more crap you post, the less respect you'll get from us. As a &quot;Member&quot;, this is hardly the attitude you should have.

X box

I have seen them all at the trade shows. X box beats them all hands down in graphics,sound,storage,quality,developers. All others are cheezy kiddie toys. Xbox grabs the attention of gamers of all ages. We send the 6 year olds to go play nintendo and playstation. Xbox is for REAL Gamers!!

Mr.Code, do not think for a second MS will just lay down and die. I'm sure Netscape and Corel have a bigger *$$ hole thanks to MS. ;)

EDIT - Hell, If Tripleshot says its good, it MUST be good. :D ;)

Tell that to Sega, they by far beat everyone in '99 and '00 but are now only making games. And its not their first attempt, their first attempt was in the mid 80's.

AND BTW. E3 doesn't make or break you GDC, the real show does. I mean E3 just isn't about the games anymore.
