GamCube 0wnz x-box and it's mother. X-Box's controller is bulky and uncomftorble and I don't care what anyone says, I just won't get used to that thing and GC's controller is like the best one available along side ps2's.

X-Box it self fits the controller great cause its big loud and bulky and GC is the smallest one out there and very portable and especialy considering the monitor add on that makes it portable.

X-Box and i ts games and accessories are over priced and you can call me cheap if you want or whatever but money dosn't grow on a tree in my backyard and I quite frankly don't wanna shell out $300 bucks for the system and its games and controllers when I can get GC for a lot less and especialy considering that GC's games blow X-Box into the next universe.

You can say what you want but I still say X-Box is a comuter that hooks to your tv and GC is a pure video game system which is what I look for when I wanna buy a video game system.........Anyway GC is better period.

Hey, Justin, do you want to take him, or should I come up with the counter arguments?

(good grief, BigJustinW and I have been doing nothing but agreeing with each other yesterday and today. If this keeps up, my reputation is ruined!)

As for the other posts...

Nintendo fans never seem to suprise me. About a year ago, when IGN was giving Ps2 bad scores, and Gamespot was giving Ps2 decent scores, nobody here paid any attentiod to Gamespot... AND when IGN was giving N64 good scores, but EGM, Next-Gen, and Gamespot were holding back, IGN was getting a lot more respect in the forums...

Maybe these scores show nothing.... then again, maybe these scores show everything....

Well I would have to agree with you on this issue. I mean I've seen so many complaints against mags/sites being biase because they don't give the scores people want.

I myself know that all reviews are based on opinions. The fact is "too each his own". Not everyone has the same taste and not everyone has the same criteria.

As for the GC and X-Box review scores, I personally believe the Cube has a rather decent line up, but nothing great while the X-Box has a better overall one.

I guess we will do this again in the summer or end of spring. Maybe a post seasonal thread.

Well...

that's your opinion...

In my, and many other people's opinion Xbox has better games than GCN... If GCN blows Xbox out so bad in quality, why isn't it selling better? Both systems launched at the same time, and had equal oppritunity... AND Nintendo has a brand name advantage over Microsoft... AND Nintendo has a Price advantage over Microsoft... yet it hasn't sold more, what's wrong with this picture?

I don't care if you like GCN better... but don't act like Xbox is crap, because it isn't.

I also disagree with travvandamage, but saying that Xbox has sold so many consoles, isn't a valid reason to being good. Although I agree that's it's a good console, by your logic, Britney Spears must be a great musician since she's sold so many records.

BTW, I think it's about time you change that pic. It's quite obsolete now that Triple H and Steph wanna kill each other.

IGN, Gamespot, EGM, Next-Gen.... or wherever you need to look...

In North Ameica... where Xbox and Gamecube has had equal time to hack the market, Xbox has a lead.

Hmm well just for the record.. X-Box had a 3 day lead.. nothing big.. and also it's only a 100k console difference in the USA.. and now that X-Box has been released in 3 territories..

Well it's officially in 3rd place world wide

Whatever anyone says, every site is a little biased towards some system, it is nearly impossible for someone to rate games non-biasedly (yes, I know that's not a word). I just take scores from like 10 different sites and average them. Plus you gotta read the actual reviews to know what the game's about.

fingersman · 03-24-2002, 01:05 PM

Justin is a XBOX FANBOY

j/k

Sorry I just wanted to get in the thread and say something and sicne Xantar, Justin and almost everyone in the thread basically took my ideas...........I couldn't think of anything else to say except that.

Blix · 03-25-2002, 12:33 PM

Well, I don't normally go to IGN or Gamespot or any of those websites for reviews. I go to gamefaqs.com do a search for the game I want and read peoples reviews, were they are varied. Then you can see all the good things and bad things about a game. And anyway, like DH said the more games there are on a system the more crapy and good games there are going to be. Peroid. Reviews are not the botto line.
