The same story goes for Super Mario Bros 2, ten and someodd years ago. The Nintendo company didn't think that people outside Japan would be ready for Mario is Missing. (Maybe because it could frighten the kiddies). And about PS2 accesories, which would include a DVD player, of "crap quality." It was installed to read DVD based games, which give noticably better, smoother graphics. (Graphics that the games would actually utilize, by avoiding cell shading) Of course, it could also play DVDs, and so why not add it in? That was a good idea, Sony. Quote:

Sales are based more on the games that are sold, than the consoles. You should know that.

But regardless - this just in: since the price cut last week, the GameCube has been outselling the PS2 by 20%.
i.e. it's number one in North America right now, where it deserves to be. ![]()

![]() PS2 isn't a box. And by poorly put together, I mean it's got poor material. I posted a link to a comparison between GameCube's hardware and PS2's. You'll see what I mean.

Currently I have a 64, I like all of my games for it. My favorite is Killer Instinct.
I like the fighting games. I also have a PSone, with quite an assortment of games. The next console I am looking to get is the Xbox, I hope there are a lot of games to chose from! Does anyone know the price/ estimate? Hey, How do you like the Gamecube? (it is on sale...) When I buy a console I usually get bored of it, and the selection of games. |

Have any of my fellow Cubers here played Viewtiful Joe yet? Is it really as thumpingly wonderful as everyone says it is?

I haven't played it, but I've heard from the people who have that it kicks arse.

Well...I work in an electronics store...so I have the inside scoop on what people are buying.
And the Nintendo Wii is winning by a long shot. The PS3 is amazing, the graphics and internet capabilities, and BluRay player are all awesome. But it seems that people aren't as interested in good graphics as they are in innovative gamelay...they'd rather play a game with poorer graphics, but more interactive gameplay. Wiis are flying off of the shelves, PS3s are moving more slowly.

Being a huge gamer myself means that I get really annoyed when I see people buy into advertising for a game that I know will have crappy as hell gameplay but because it "looks cool and has guns" everyone thinks that it can't go wrong. That's the definition of GTA worshiper. The majority of gamers and parents of gamers are tricked into buying the same thing over and over and over at a ridiculous rate. Over the last year or so I've become very anti Sony. Their business practices have been shady to me. Almost dishonest even. At the very least they have been completely unoriginal but still act like they are on top as they were during the PS2 days.
