Nintendo's Superior Hardware

So is it actually better hardware that makes the Gamecube prevail or simply the design and the near-square shape that makes it more durable?

As much as I hate to say this but the GCN hardly prevailed this generation. I mean his lost ground to Microsoft of all companies. I mean... no offense to Microsoft fans but with Nintendo being in this industry for a long time to lose a generation to a new comer like Microsoft. And it's not me (fanboy) saying ... it's simply fact when you look at the sales reports, GCN sold less then Xbox's..... its' a fact

So I wouldn't exactly say GCN ... prevailed, rather Survived.

No Kyuzo, the link wasn't referring to actual business success, strictly physical durability. If you watch the video, the girl put all three consoles through obstacles like dropping a weight on them and Gamecube survived overall better. Just silly tests, nothing economical.

Oh.... well then prevail the GCN has. But I'd say anything as compact as the GCN would be more durable then a flat slim PS2 or the flat larger PS2.

And Don't get me started about "The bigger they are the harder they fall" phrase for the XBX.

Edit: After seeing the video, I realize how flimsy the PS2 hardware is... but it's still a beautiful machine and works wonders.

I highly doubt we'll drop weights, or smash our consoles with a sledge hammer. So this test is just a experiment test and proves nothing really....

No one treats their consoles in this manner......and if they do.... dam them...
