Xbox or Gamecube?

Yes I have Broadband, no I have no interest in on line gaming, if I wanted to do that I would do it on my com puter, and I am sorry but you really have no idea what the next playstation spec are or you would never have said that for one thing, Microsoft are dependant on Intel for there Processor's, sony's new processor created between sony, IBM and Apple is so powerful it is the power of 10 PC not one and it will run at a thousand times that of the ps2 that is just the processor, I know intel have only the pentium 5 in progress and no other processor, so let wait and see, and I am sorry but Microsft is a massive name and they had massive promotions and advertisement and it sill only sell 1 to 10  and you are not telling me that people dont know there own mind's by now, I am sure like I said I also own both the PS2 and the Xbox and my feeling's have not changed and million still agree with me even after they try the Xbox, so please give people credit for they view's and except that you love the Xbox ,I love the ps2 and them that like Nintendo games love the Gamecube.

 Or and Hi please to meet you, it is nice to talk to people who have different views.
 
so MarioKarts out on the 14th November? Cheers Bagpuss.

looks like i'll have to invest in it this week - althought that'll completely rule out the weekend from a social point of view!!

thanx Suzuki and Booth for your views on the Console's - i think im going to plump for the Gamecube though because I already have one and I know for a fact my brother likes the games on it.

Hi Suzuki. You don't appear to have read what I actually said in my post and have taken a defensive tone with your posting which wasn't needed.

I do accept that you like your technically inferior but obviously highly entertaining PS2, but my point was that even if the PS3 was technically lacking compared to the Xbox2 - it would still outsell it on brand name alone.

The man/woman on the street will go for Sony. It's the way things are. Sony is a BIG name, far more well-known the Microsoft. Okay so to us computer owners we can't help but know Microsoft - but there are a lot of people who choose not to own a computer and instead own a console. What are these people going to choose? The most famous one?

By the way I have gamed online with my PCs down the years, but none of that compares to Xbox Live. PC online play can be very laggy too, much more than Xbox online play.

Like you have said, you have both and choose PS2. I have all 3 and choose Xbox. Each to their own as they say. I just feel you can do a lot more than play games with Xbox.

Did I mention you can put all your music on Xbox and use it as a jukebox if you hook it up to your hi-fi/amp?

And now you can also go on Xbox Live and chat through the headset on live without having to be in a game session - with up to 8 people (I think that's the max).

I think you will find that the next playstation gaming console will feature a proccesor named 'cell' which is developed by toshiba and IBM, with sony. Not only that but it will be nowhere near '10 times more powerful than any Pc' as its rated to run at 4ghz, and considering the an average pc is about 1ghz, you are just making up figures here. The proc of the new console is not just one proc though. It is apparently supposed to be 4 seperate 'cells' each running at 1ghz.



Also its not 1 to 10 for the every xbox to ps2 sold. Ps2 worldwide has sold around the 60 million mark, whereas xbox is around 18 million last time i checked. Its certainly not 1 to 10, but it is still a major gap between sales of the two consoles.

I own a Gc and a ps2, and my little borther has an Xbox. the xbox is far superior graphically. It has a max resolution of 1920 x 1080, whereas the ps2 has a max closer to 640 x 480. If you want to compare the quality between the two, change your monitor Resolution on your Pc and see what you make of it  ;)

I love my Gc and ps2, and my lil bro's xbox. the ps2 is still quite powerful, and for its actual specs it does perform very well, but the Xbox is much better for graphics. Ps2 is a tidy console, but really many people are brainwashed into buying them, most people dont know that that the ps2 is not as powerful, i often hear people talking about how its much better than the xbox and Gc, when its not. It does have great games, many of thm, but it also has alot more very poor games than xbox or Gc. The xbox has a quality lineup of titles, there are a few bad ones, but much less than ps2. One thing i dispise about xbox fanboys is there constant preaching of Halo, which is not xbo's best game, its average if you ask me, nothing to special, just an overall pretty ok Game.

So there you have it, my thoughts, the xbox is better, does lack a few killer titles, but they will come in time, for the moment the ps2 has more titles, not all good, but theyre there, and as ive already said, alot of ps2 owners are just brainwashed with all the marketing really . .
 
Sorry, cant say he does. Xbox live looks kool, but to be honest most of the best games playable online are for Pc. There are some good titles coming out on xbox live, but for the moment its not too appealing  :-/
 
i agree with above

had all 3 aswell. ive only got the xbox now. with things like the hard drive its just for winners. i can save music on the hard drive then play it whilst playing a game. a top console. controler is better also. give it a go
 
Personally i prefer xbox more i finds its better quality as i have both i dont use my game cube much at all
 
well i can tell you my fella just bought an xbox crystal, 5 games a dvd and a dvd playback kit for about £140, which is a total bargain he got it from toys r us they are always doing really good offers on them,
sony have just brought out a ps2 slimline but to be honest you will have a hard time getting one at the moment and they are more expensive than a xbox which are by far the best console around.
 
xbox is far better used to have a gamecube the games arent challenging enough and mainly aimed at kids even though the likes of mario highly addictive but you cant get games like gotham racer or pro evolution 4 on the cube
 
i just bought my son an xbox for xmas, there isnt any other machine i would choose, dont forget with a tweak here and a tweak there technically its upgradable. its like a small pc in a little box using a NVIDIA geforce 3 chipset

i wonder if they will make a version of half-life 2 for it
 
Xbox's are by far the better machine. GameCubes are definatley aimed at the kiddies more than anything. And I wouldn't even spit on a PS2 if it was on fire.:D

Poodle, I may be mistaken on this, but I think Half Life 2 is being saved for the Xbox 2 which is allegedly due out next year. Of course they will probably change the dates as they always do.:rolleyes:
 
never played half life 1 wouldnt mind a ps2 just for pro evo 4 as theres a big competition on at moist in blackburn coming soon but im out of touch on pro evo now need for speed got to be best xbox game looking forward to playing the new one just released
 
half-life 2 on my pc rocks , been playing it since it came out two days ago along with the new counterstrike, of course if you dont have a dvd rom or internetconnection then there is no playing it for you :P
 
ive had both these consoles and my xbox just kept breakin so i just gave up

ive still got my gamecube
