As for me Game Cube is the best, if you want real old school video games then Game Cube is what you need. As for that rich bastard Bill Gates(XBOX) he wanted to buy Game Cube for 25 billion dollars, I'm sure Nintendo didnt even consider it since XBOX simply sucks, to digital, stick with the computers guy. He tried it with Sega and that failed, so now he was going after the Game Cube. Thats it. |

I am so glad that the Microsoft XBOX is doing so badly here in the UK! The machine has barely been on the shelves 5 minutes and the price has been slashed from £300 to £200. A desperation tactic if you ask me! And I also here that Nintendo intend to undercut Microsoft in the pricing now of the XBOX - He heh he he !! Microsoft should've know better than to tackle the likes of Nintendo and Sony. I have a PS2 and it's the business, and although Gamecube looks good, I fear that is (as ever) will not have the same 'volume' of variety that SONY has allways offered. But nevertheless, a good machine. Tough luck Mr Gates....stick to your PC software! |

Xbox has it's good points -- all the current top consoles do. I guess if I had to choose i'd go w/ a PS2. There was a funny headline on Fark about that attempted nintendo buyout -- "Microsoft offer to purchase Nintendo for $25billion declined, world domination averted" |

Yeah I agree with you JEdi Chris, and the only thing Xbox is good for is those fighting games like Quake except Quake is computer. And yeah thats where I read the news xlr, on Fark. But as I'm typing this I'm getting an Game Cube i'm right now the happiest girl. |

I tried the gamecube in best buy a few weeks ago...it was pretty cool. It was some star wars game. I like the controller a lot -- but the n64 still has the best one ever. |

I read that Nintendo of America were kinda taking the $25 billion take over seriously after Microsoft told them it wasn't a joke. They actually had a few meetings and then presented it to Nintendo of Japan, who took 1 second thinking about it and (probably laughed their asses off) before saying a nice big fat Nintendo NO! =D lol |

Following last month's rather shocking revelation that Microsoft had originally tapped Sega to develop the Xbox, it's now been revealed that at one point Microsoft was dealing with Nintendo too. In fact, Microsoft was all but set to outright buy the company. According to a new book called Opening the Xbox: Inside Microsoft's Plan to Unleash an Entertainment Revolution, Microsoft was at one point all set to plunk down 25 billion for the Japanese game giant. As the book describes, Nintendo's U.S. president Minoru Arakawa wasn't sure what to think when Microsoft made the offer. "I was surprised," Arakawa admitted. "We didn't need the money. I thought it was a joke." Nontheless, Arakawa and Nintendo of America took the offer seriously and brought discussions to its corporate office in Japan. "Some Nintendo executives seemed interested and the meetings went on through the winter," the book describes. "The parties met six or seven times. Microsoft wanted Nintendo to drop its GameCube console and get behind the Xbox. But Hiroshi Yamauchi, the aging CEO and Nintendo, didn't like the idea. By January 2000, the talks were over." The two companies parted ways and wished each other luck. "Our ability to remain independent was unquestioned due to our financial status," Nintendo of America executive vice president stated in the book. "And it became clear that our objectives and their objectives were not the same." So while Microsoft discussions with Sega and Nintendo ultimately both broke down, the games industry sure would be a different place had they led to something. To read more about Microsoft's attempts to partner with both Sega and Nintendo, check out the book. |

nintendo is more for children with all their super mario games. when the n64 got out, half the people i know that bought one sold it immediatly for a ps. itll be the same with the game cube and it's kid-oriented vision. ill take a ps2 over the cube any day. |

Well yes I also read about that on Fark. As for Star Wars its a freaking hard game, with that you really have to get used to the controllers, so no Cortex its not a childrens game, theres no 3- and older label on the front if thats what youre saying. Its just a console with games, just games. Resident Evil is coming out on Nintendo too, that shits going to be out of hand, I cant wait!!! |

resident evil coming to the game cube is very surprising to me! maybe nintendo are changing a little. and i didnt mean to say that nintendo exclusively make games for kids, but that it's the most children-oriented console between the big 3 (ps2 cube xbox). how many mario bros. games can you make? |

It's stupid image-conscious idiots who made playstation successful in the first place. One such person said that he didn't buy an n64 because "it looks like a toy." |

but what i was saynig is that... wait a sec, youre not afxnumb... |

Oh no, I wasn't disagreeing with you; I was just adding my two cents. Yes, I am not afxnumb |

yeah right, thats a total trick man Damnit does this mean i have to change my icon?? thats another topic, but I'll still say that the picture sucks. Yeah Nintendo has a lot of those easy games like Pikmin too not only Mario Bros. Even though I want one!! and it also has Spider-Man. |

They make the best hardware because they know gamers (PS2/PS1 controller direct ripoff of SNES, all gaming controllers of today copied Nintendo's ideas)...And they made and still make the best games...Although PS2 has made some stuff that I do enjoy, I will stick with Nintendo |

tha't quote is oo true...that damn gates just wants to get another one of his tenticles into the console world...and btw...the reason why i play console games over PC, is becuase PC games tend to suck ASS! so why the hell would i buy a console that plays PC game wannabes? (there are expections to PC games sucking...i heard that Deus EX was great...and i liked counterstrike a bit...) |
