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

[Private Hudson]

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'm thinking (and hoping) that my idea of Nintendo segregating themselves from the rest of the market may actually be their saving grace. Eventually in the future, the PS3 may be a settop box more than anything else, and if people want to have a mere game machine (most likely much cheaper than the settop boxes) the Nintendo machine will be their alternative.

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

That is certainly a matter of opinion. Both consoles have similarly sized lineups, but the majority of XBox's (quality) lineup is are ports. Both consoles have some extremely good exclusives in the future, although most of Nintendo's are 1st/2nd party (only exception really being Resident Evil 4).

Xbox has plenty of good 3rd Party exclusives (Fable, KOTOR, TFLO,etc.) and some major 1st party ones as well (Halo2, Mech Assault 2 etc.)

But I believe he's referring more to hardware sales. Not sure.

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.

Which just goes to show you that the general public don't particularly care about the power of the machine. No matter how much Microsoft lie about the XBox to get people to buy them (although it has worked, to an extent).
