Damn, the Gamecube is getting bitch-slapped by both Sony AND Microsoft

OB1, Nintendo is advertising their newly released games. People aren't just getting enough taste of the games they want on the GC. On that contrary, if Metroid Prime were on PS2 and Xbx ports - that depends as well, if those consoles has enough tastey softwares people will like, then it's likely that those platforms will get many install base, but if not, then it would be the GC.

[sarcasm]There are advertisements for Gamecube games??!!! Woah! [/sarcasm]

Of course they advertise their games. But the problem is that they don't advertise well enough or often enough. I saw the Metroid Prime commercial (which is cool as a mini-movie, but not so much as a game ad) maybe five, six times since November. But I've seen commercials for Kingdom Hearts and Splinter Cell many, many more times.

As for the next Nintendo console...c'mon, I have heard more tidbits about PS3 and Xbx Next but as far as I'm concerned, I don't worry about the next-gen consoles.

Well don't worry about it then. But many of us like to talk about the future, especially since it's Nintendo's big, last (maybe) hope.

I think GC is slow for now, but it'll pick back the pace once PSO, the next Resident Evil, Sonic Mega Collection, P.N.03, the Yugioh game for the GC, Metroid Prime 2 - these games I believe will help Nintendo hopefully. I definitely want Nintendo to be ahead of Microsoft here, the reason why Xbx is doing better is because it's system specs and its strong online infrastructure.

It's slow? Are you talking about software? The Gamecube's exclusive line-up wipes the floor with the X-Box's.

And the X-Box is ahead of the Gamecube because of its better marketing and image. The GC is very comparable to the X-Box, specs-wise. The PS2 is miles ahead of both of them put together and it's far more inferior in terms of hardware.
