Nope, just XBox...Gamecube is going to have a good year in 2003, with titles like F-Zero, Zelda, Mario 128 (sequel to Mario 64), and a new Starfox coming out. I find it funny how Gamecube is beating out the XBox with practically only first party (Nintendo made games) being the only things selling on the system. There are alot of third party companies stopping production of their games on the GCN because the players are only buying up the stuff made by Nintendo!

actually, as much as I hate to admit it, the Xbox is currently leading the Cube by 1.1 million units. But only in North America.

And yea, 3rd parties aren't too keen on supporting the Cube, even though the Xbox isn't getting much love from the Japanese 3rd parties either. And hey! GCN has Resident Evil exclusive

I bought a Cube about a month ago, and I'm really happy with it. Metroid Prime is fucking amazing...one of the best games I've ever played.

spoken like a true gamer. I wish I had the time and money to invest in other console's, but for now I perfectly happy with settling for a Cube only (even though I'm missing out on games like Halo, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid)

Oh, This arguement is in no way trite
halo isn't that great, i got bored after i realized how similar the levels got.
I think i'll stick to vice city

Yup

I bought the Cube along with Metroid...such a great game. Next up I'm thinking of buying Eternal Darkness, and then Resident Evil 0. I'm not a big Mario fan so I'll probably skip on SMS and 128. I wish Final Fantasy for it would come out sooner tho...

Get Eternal Darkness, it is so awesome!!! I have it and I enjoy playing it a lot. What sucks about it is that it is short game.

Halo= The most boring and overated game of all time. Multiplayer is fun though...but that's it. Too bad that's all Xbox has...oh and that mechassault game, but that's it.

PS2 just has the quality games. Yes the graphics are .000002x better on Xbox but that doesn't make the system better.

Actually dude, whatever comes out on the Ps2 can look up to 4 times better on the xbox.Since the xbox is running an 800mhz processor with a 400mhz video card and it supports direct x.The ps2 is only at 200mhz and its video card is only 150mhz.so trust me when i say that anything on the xbox would look way better.but its just that the ps2 has the game library which sets it apart.

Halo overrated and boring????

Are you crazy halo is a great game, single and multiplayer.

Ps2 still beats out all systems, its all about the games not how powerful your console is(xbox) or how portable it is(gamecube). Games make the system and ps2 has the 3rd party support and has all the great games. I have all 3 systems so i am not biased to any system just stating facts.

Yes that is true, if you are speaking in a technical point of view. The X-box is technologically 4 times better than the Ps2. But sales and game wise, the Ps2 has no competetion. With a huge library of games that outshines both the X-box and the Gamecube, the ps2 will always be ahead.

PS2 has no competition?

Hmmm, Xbox has a built in hard drive... PS2 has...Nothing like that. Jus memory cards.

Xbox has internet WORKING already. PS2 has..... Ideas.

Xbox is the better console.

Actually, you are quite wrong there. There is a hard drive that has been released for the PS2 in Japan and there is still talk of releasing it here.

Of course XBox has the internet, this is Microsoft we're talking about here...they've had their own internet service for many years and know all about it. Sony on the other hand doesn't. This doesn't make XBox better though because the games you can play on Live aren't half as good as the ones that you can play on PS2s internet.
