Nintendo doesn' t have enough money to sign a exclusivity contract w/ Sega for ex. They' re not doing as good as the other two


Well that' s BS and noone here will bother to explain why since we believe people posting things know what they are saying

I agree about Xbox - those few good games are not a library.
Owning a PS2 is not enough proof of not being a fan boy it is a common sense these days (and I don' t have one yet hehe)

I own only an Xbox but I consider it less cool than PS2 and GCN , but it has it' s moments.

Still saying your opinions about revolution and dissin' FF series means something you know.

Albogino! Nintendo does have mature games, it' s just that their marketing has been really strange, and that PS2 and Xbox are marketing them selves as consoles with lots of mature action games. If you look carefully at the GCs library you' ll notice that they have lots of mature games but that they are equal in numbers compared to other games. The PS2 and the Xbox however, have got " mature" games in abundance.
And what the hell is an " mature" game? Can' t a game be fun and mature just because you aren' t blowing up a building or shooting someone in the head? Do you have some system where the amount of blood in a game decides how mature it is? I think it is the gamers who needs to mature, not Nintendo.
You' re saying that the GC controller is not any better than the Xbox S controller. HAHAHA that' s BS! The S controler is better than the normal controller but it is still uncomfortable and boring. The GC controller has been praysed for it' s incredibly ergonomic design. It truly becomes a part of you hands. I' d say it is the most comfortable controller ever made!
Even though MS have money to throw around, they won' t throuw around forever if there' s no profit. And I doubt Japan will be a profitable market for them which gives PS3 and Rev a big advantage.
People think you will get tired in the arms if you use the Rev controller but listen, did anyone say you have to keep your arm straight out in the air like som retard? No! Just hold it close to the body as usual and waye with it a little. Next time you play a game with a regular controller, look carefully how much you wave aroud with it. You' ll be supresed to see that it is probably as much as you need to use the Rev controller.
XBox does not have a good library. They have a few exclusive games that are worth bying. The rest are just PC ports and multiplatform games.

It' s probably just a matter of preference, but I disagree. I think the GC controller looks like a 7 year old made it. The buttons just seem slapped on in random fashion. Also, it probably would be comfortable, if I had smaller hands (think Japanese), alas, I do not. Trying to use that stupid little yellow stick for FPSs gives me hand cramps to no end. The original Xbox controller suited me fine. The S controller is better because of the placement of the black and white buttons, but WORSE because of the placement of the back and start buttons. It looks like the 360 controller will suit me just fine.

Once again, it' s just a matter of preference, but I think the Xbox library kills both of the others, especially Nintendo. The only game I played extensively on my GC was Metroid Prime. I tried out several other " top selling" games and found that the demographic for the GC must not include me, because I didn' t enjoy them at all. On the PS2 I did play the hell out of FFX and God of Way, but that' s about it. There are a couple more titles that I' m interested in though.

As far as the Xbox having PC " ports" , that is true because only the Xbox can give a comparable performance to a pc game. Having a PS2 and PC only game wouldn' t happen unless you' ve got a Pentium II computer. Also, I don' t like the use of the word " port" as many of the games that are exclusive to both the PC and Xbox release at about the same time, or on the Xbox first. I also believe that this is a good thing, since I don' t play games on my computer, so it doesn' t really matter if it came out on PC first, as it would still be new to me.

call me a fanboy, I don' t care, LoL. Xbox does have a good library of games dude, really. okay, the top-selling or most popular games r made for the 3 platforms anyway. After that we talk about games that r made only for 2 platforms, and they usually r ps2 and xbox. then come the EXCLUSIVE titles for consoles and I think there is where the diff. is. Chee Saw is right when he says it' s a matter of preference but honestly man, how can u say xbox sucks. Just cuz it didn' t do well in Japan, that doesn' t mean anything. And don' t think that they' re gonna be losing money with the 360 either. I think more ppl r actually gonna buy more 360s this time around. Their library seems to be broadening too, so u can' t say their library sucks now. They' re even gonna have arcade games for u.

Honestly man, I' ve played GC at my buddy' s house and the controller just doesn' t feel as comfortable as the S controller. Xbox' s PC ports r sick games man, what r u talking about. U don' t like far cry, doom, fable or whatever else is there. I could give u a huge list of good games for xbox but that would take too much time. anyways, the fact that they' re getting support from a lot more japanese game studios for the 360 should tell u something dude. If u look at the 360, it doesn' t just have " more power" but a lot more functions too. it really is an entertainment system. Can even connect to the PC. We' ll see how they do, all i kno is im getting one for sure.
*I just can' t see how u gonna play FPS games on the Rev.

Hoooold it! I never said Xbox sucks, please, I enjoy playing games on the Xbox, it is a good console. And I think the 360 will be an even better console. I just prefer the other two. As you said, it is a matter of preference.
The thing is that people are constantly saying negative stuff about the GC that I just can' t agree with. So I try to show people my view of the other consoles so that they can see why I like the GC.
I still think Nintendo is bad at making good 3rd party exclusive deals!
Almost everyone I' ve talked to dislikes the Xbox controller and loves the GC controller (except for fighting games). And this is what I have read in several videogame magazines. But I don' t have any actual statistics on that. Maybe we should make a poll so people could vote or something?
So what if the GC controller looks like something a 7 year old made? Spray paint it or whatever. The buttons are placed perfectly to fit most games (except fighting games). Maybe it looks like a Fisherprice Toy (purple really was a bad choice of color!) but it is functional and comfortable. But if you have big hands and find the Xbox controller more comfortable then I guess I can' t argue with you.
Most people have a PC. Why play PC games on the Xbox when they are more fun on the PC?
Please, give me that huge list of good Xbox games and I' ll give you an even bigger list of good PS2 or GC games! And I' m talking exclusives here!

u won' t agree with that " HUGE" list (which i never said it was huge btw, it would just take me time to make it, there' s no point)

umm, y play pc games on the xbox when on the pc they r more fun ???(partly agree about this last part, depending on what game ur playing) cuz with pcs u have to continuously upgrade, and it becomes too expensive.

Hmm. You got a point there, PCs are expensive to upgrade. But I do think that there are to few PC games that become available for the Xbox to motivate someone to buy a Xbox. Half-life 2, Doom 3, and Far Cry are good games, but sadly they are all in the same genre and those three games are pretty much the only PC games worth buying for the Xbox. Considering they each cost about 300-500 dollars per game (depending on which country you are from) for the console while they are much cheaper for the PC (after a very short while), you can save all the money for the upgrade! And I' d prefer to play one of the games on a PC, than to play all three of them on the Xbox. But that' s just my opinion, I understand if you feel differently about that. It' s about what you prioritate, quality, or quantity.

Actually I LOVE the GameCube controller for all types of games Including Fighting games! Like I said before, as far as current generation 1st party controllers go, the Nintendo Wave Bird and I are gettin married ;).. The only real problem I have with the Xbox controller(s) are the two buttons on the lower right of the controller. I almost always forget that they' re even there and often times have to look down at the controller while playing a game that utilizes those buttons. The Xbox 360 controller is pretty much a godsend. So soft, so ergonomic. Microsoft definitely did their homework.. My problem with Sony' s controller is the D-pad design which is a HUGE problem to me. I can' t even put into words how much I hate that controller because of the D-pad!! lol.
