Going The Way Of The Dreamcast? Nintendo hasn't fared well with its latest console system. Before its latest price drop to $99, the GameCube fought against slumping sales and fading into console obscurity. Now it's Christmas of 2005, the ...

Pros: Great future games, Nintendo is known for quality, system is guarenteed not to die
Cons: good games not out yet, somewhat premature launch geared at getting it out for Christmas

Why would I want cartoon Zelda or a screwed-up 3d Metroid when I could have gun packing, sword-wielding Dante from Devil May Cry? Before you hammer me with ‘Helpfuls’ hear me out. The GC is not a three-star system in truth, but for the time being it...

Pros: Exclusive Games, Connectivity

It's no secret: I've been playing video games most of my natural born life, and continue to do so to this day. As time evolves around us, so does technology. Video games are a part of the most advanced hardware that technology has ever seen. The days of ...

Pros: Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda. Need I say more?
Cons: We can't have Zelda until next year.

I am very brand loyal. I will, and have in the past, turn a blind eye to past mistakes of a company if it promises me something better. Nintendo did just that with the Gamecube. I have been fervently loyal to Nintendo for...

Pros: Great possibilities; pure game machine; affordable
Cons: We'll see what software comes down the pike; no DVD ability; kiddie image

Pros: Great proprietary games, highly portable, great value.
Cons: Not quite as versatile as other consoles.

I wanted a video game console, that much was certain. But which one, now there’s the dilemma. “Get an X-Box,” I was told by a co-worker. You’ll love it. They’re great, there are lots of games for it. And you can play online. ...

Pros: Nice fruity color. Reminds me of grape juice.
Cons: Might end up being another N64. No Squaresoft ( as yet ).

Pros: Its hip!
Cons: I haven't hit the lotto yet!

INTRO

I haven’t owned a Nintendo product since the original NES. I’ve pretty much been content with systems from Sega and Sony, as they fit my gaming desires perfectly. Upon the release of the Gamecube (GC) and Xbox fall 2001,...

Pros: Has some of the best games, multiplayer support, inexpensive, a great second console
Cons: Little online support, no DVD playback, not strong as a primary console

Cons: discs kind of TOO small, third party haven't really
