hehe Game Cube beat out the Xbox for the number two position in sales. Now the order goes:
1st place: ps2
2nd place: Game Cube
3rd place: xbox
I knew that it was coming. If you think about it, the xbox is basically getting all the "hand me downs" from the ps2. Yeah, yeah, yeah you can argue but it's true. I deal with videogames all day because i work at a videogame store. You begin to see games that were released on the ps2 for over a year releasing on the xbox just now. For example: Mafia just released on the ps2 (yeah i know it was released on the pc in 2002) a few weeks ago, it's coming to the xbox on the 25th of Feb. Microsoft better pick up the pace. |

just like nintendo knew and microsoft assumed.
nintendo knew people would want a good, cheap system with great games.
microsoft assumed they could give people a VCR sized computer and graphics would rule over all.
sorry again microsoft| |

| you know there's something wrong when you have a game like halo selling for 29.99 when it's really supposed to be a greatest hit and sell for 19.99 |

XBox is failing, face it. It has been failing on a global scale ever since it released, I believe only in the states is it doing fairly well. No loss for me though, I really dislike the XBox.
There are a few XBox developers who left the team too since it released.
Now, on to Nintendo. They realize that they don't make the bulk of their money on console sales. The majority of the money they make comes from the games that they produce (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.) They've always been on top of their game when it comes to marketing, something SEGA continues to struggle with. That new handheld they're coming out with, the "DS" I believe, will probably be a flop though (at least in the US). |

I was shocked to see the XBox do so well at the beginning, but it seems it finally is falling to where it should be. It's nothing but PC graphics on a console. The games are nothing extraordinary, and most of the good ones are made for multiple systems. The only thing people ever say when asked why XBox is so good is "Halo!".
PS2 is easily the best system in my opinion and I don't even own one anymore. I bought a Gamecube simply because a lot of their games are garbage, but I grew up on Nintendo and Super NES and love the franchise games such as Mario, Metroid, F-Zero, etc. I don't have much time to play games, or much money, so I'd rather pick up a few incredible games than a ton of good games that I can't afford and don't have time to play anyway. The only thing that bothers me is Square going almost exclusively to Sony. Thankfully I finished FFX before selling my PS2 and now FFCC is coming out for GC.
XBox loses out in all categories in my opinion. |

I'm surprised to see that so many people are on the same page as I am. I was expecting someone to come out and say some thing like "PS2 suck and Xbox rules" and all this other garbage.
The only game that I like on the Xbox was shenmue 2. I loved the original on the dreamcast and I love part 2 on the xbox, other than that I hate xbox. |

This isn't a videogame site forum, that's why... :)
If this thread was in a VG site's forum, the responses would be completely different. :)
