"Nope, but I want to beat the sh!t out of my friends with super smash bro's melee . Who cares if it's a kiddie game, it's HELLA FUN"
-He'll yea. Right now it's so hard to decide: Xbox, PS2 or GCube.
Xbox:
"The Xbox is truly the wild card in the equation. I can see where fans of RPGs might be excited for Project Ego and proponents of first-person shooters will be into Unreal Championship, but I'm having problems finding exclusive games for the console over the next 12 months that will compel people to drop 300 bones for it. The Xbox currently isn't offering much next year unless you're into RPGs or can't ever get enough of first-person shooters. I know that Microsoft is doing everything in its power to avoid it, but the Xbox's software library is already starting to remind me a lot of the PC's. The only missing element is real-time strategy games." -gamespot
PS2:
"After the first eight months of the PlayStation 2's existence in North America being relatively disappointing, Sony's latest console has really hit its stride in the past few months. But it remains to be seen if the momentum can be maintained. Many of the high-profile PS2 games that players have been waiting for were released in the past month, which leaves little on the immediate horizon that will move consoles. Of course, the one obvious exception would be Final Fantasy X. Square's next installment in its popular RPG franchise will undoubtedly sell some PS2s, and the online-only Final Fantasy XI should give the PS2's network a good push if it actually makes its release date in North America next year. In fact, RPG fans will finally be able to get their fill next year on the PlayStation 2 with games like Grandia X and Xenosaga being released. While there aren't a great deal of killer apps currently scheduled for the PS2 next year, there's a healthy number of midlevel releases planned that will force consumers to keep an eye on it" -gamespot
GCube:
"If you believe what Nintendo tells you, next year is going to be a great year for GameCube owners. But we all know how Nintendo can make promises and not deliver. Nintendo is pulling out all of its heavy hitters next year, but if history is any indication, some of the games will likely be delayed. Who in their right mind would believe that the new Mario and Zelda games will be released in the same year? Mario Sunshine is expected for release this summer (keep your fingers crossed) and should be absolutely huge, Zelda is supposed to be ready for the next holiday season (yeah, right), and Metroid Prime's development has had more snags than a sweater in a thorn bush. The only high-profile games that can be counted on 100 percent are Eternal Darkness, the slick-looking remake of Resident Evil, Soul Calibur 2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet. Of these five games, only Star Fox Adventures and Eternal Darkness look to be epic experiences that will lock players down for weeks. And Eternal Darkness has quickly turned into the GameCube whipping post after some lackluster appearances at trade shows. As for Resident Evil, I would venture to guess that most have played the original by now, but with the photo-realistic visuals and 70 percent of the game being changed, it may bring players of the old version back into the fold while satisfying a new audience at the same time. And as you probably already know, Soul Calibur 2 is coming to all three consoles so it won't provide a definitive advantage for Nintendo. Also, don't forget about the GameCube-GBA link that will be exploited for the first time next year in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2. Or, as we like to call it, Flippin' Kirby. There are plenty of other games scheduled for release next year on the GameCube that deserve attention such as Donkey Kong Racing, Kameo: Elements of Power, and WWF Wrestlemania, but it's hard to believe that all of them will be released next year, if history is any indication--especially when you consider that the master of game delays, Rare, is developing both Donkey Kong Racing and Kameo. Nintendo has always been known for surprises, and the company is going to need some if it hopes to keep the entire year filled with quality games. But if it manages to honor its release calendar for next year as it stands right now, look out." -gamespot
We'll what Gamespot is basically saying is that the GameCube stands the better chance of surving is Nintendo plays there cards right. And why not? With first party titles like Mario, Zelda and Kirby how can they go wrong. The Xbox has to many PC ready titles. Meaning that the game will more than likely be ported right to the PC, so why should I buy the console? Also, Halo is the only game that I want to play on the Xbox and nothing else excites me. The PS2 has some amazing games that have just been released, but I don't know. The gamecube is the best choice out of the three!!
