Well put response StinkyMojo. It's nice to see that there is some console gamers out there. I'll have to say...there is no comparison as to who has lead the gaming industry in the past 2 decades. Nintendo soley owns that privelage by a long shot. I was just stating that in the beginging, when GameCube first came out...it did not come with the type or varitety of games intended for the older age group. It was later on, a little before the dreamcast was discontinued that the GameCube decided to come out with the real games, only to keep up with it's major competitor PlayStation 2. The Resident Evil series started on the Playstation platform...we all know that. The Final Fantasy Trillogies were also on the Playstation platforms for the longest time as well. Both of the games are still being made into production for the PS2. As for the colors of the Gamecube. I think, personal opinion, that it is more of an audience attraction...something the makers of PS2 knew they didn't need. Sales prove that the PS2 is the leader in selling their consoles...and will continue for a long time to come. 2005 will be the real year where the gameconsole industry will be changed forever. Then we will see the real competition...and trust me, it is going to be one hell of a competition. It is all a matter of opinion on graphics, gaming quality, and performance. The setback to PS2 is that the loading for games takes so damn long, but the wait is well worth it. Xbox in the beginging was way overpriced, but seems to be a worthy contender for 2005...leading most likely in performance. Ill have to read way more reviews however to fully comprehend the next couple years of gaming and the advantages that it will bring. To me, the only reason I think PS2 dominates is soley because that is what I have picked for my gaming console for the last 7 years. The variety of games and performance advantages, graphic quality as well as it coming from the very heritage of the leading electronic company in the world...proves that it is my gaming console that I will stick with. Soley opinion and some fact is what I base this paragraph on. Its good to keep discussion of gaming consoles on a computer forum, only proves that they can be deemed worthy of good competition with today's computers. Yet we all know any good computer will waste all the consoles unfortunately. But some day...that just might change. Now I have total the financial value of this thread to 4 cents...
