Star Wars: KotOR is coming to PC soon, which is why i didn't buy it for XBOX, there are 2 genres that will always be best done on the PC, RPGs and FPS, platformers and third person shooters however are lords on console.

I don't think the numbers really matter a whole lot when you look at the plain fact that, world wide, the PS2 has far outsold the XBox and GC combined.

You seem to be forgetting the fact the PS2 has been out nearly 2 years longer then both as well. This simple fact is, numbers mean nothing, it's all a matter of personal opinion on what you like better.

I voted for None of the above, because I do not own any of them. once I got a PC in 2000; that was it, no more consoles. If I had to buy one I might get an Xbox, since it seems to run in our family to go where Rare is developing, and Im a big fan of their work.
I say the SNES would be my favorite console overall, it was when all the big developers came in. Also Strategy and RPG games were the highlight of their career, at least I thought.
Many say the N64 wasnt successful. I thought it was, seeing how powerful Rare was in particular. N64 was only bad cause Nintendo got hit hard in 1996 when they lost their genious that started them into the gaming industry, Square took off because Nintendo was "Cartridge Happy," as well as many other developers because of this. Really Rare and Nintendo were the only good developers developing for the N64, the others were busy with projects exclusive to Playstation.

Who's this genius they lost in 1996? Shigeru Miyamoto, the Zelda/Mario creator? He was with the N64 most of the way through developing two of the launch title and then working like 3 years on Zelda OOT through 2000 or something. So you can't expect one guy to come up with like 100+ great games like the Playstation had. Anyway market share is what the gaming market is all about and the N64 got crushed by Sony... a newcomer to the gaming industry!!! Even Nintendo execs would tell you that the N64 was a failure by their high standards.

Yes, that is exactly whom I am referring to.
Playstation did get more market share, but N64 just didnt have the interest of developers, thats what hit them.
Nintendo failed compared to their standard because it didnt turn out as well as their 2 previous consoles, but it was still good, nonthless

Fine. If it makes you feel a little better (and it shouldn't), you can add in the sales of the Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, and N64 in there as well along with the XBox and GC.
The numbers still don't compare.

somehow, despite your boundless enthusiasm, you've managed to sum up Nintendo's image problem, age, Mario and Zelda are beginning to feel tired as franchises, whereas rest for the Metroid franchise has helped it no end in Prime, and Eternal Darkness recieved much praise (but not sales
) on release.

for strange reasons nintendo still hasnt managed to build adequate 3rd party support for their console (besides the gba). granted, personally im buying a nintendo console for the sake of playing classical nintendo franchises but microsoft and sony are ages ahead in terms of games lineup all in all.

I play Gamecube games because they are more fun and more addictive than anything I've played on PS2, and I don't need an XBox because I already have a PC that trashes it hardware-wise in almost if not all areas, and the games aren't good enough. Halo and what else? Not too many exclusive games that would make me say "Yeah, I must have an XBox to play 'X' game!" Most are just PC ports or multi-format games (like PS2). The XBox has no proper franchises yet as it is a new console for M$ so there is nothing to get excited about IMO, but this does allow for original games which is a plus point for it.
I own a GC for those Ninty exclusives that I know I'll like playing for months on end (rather than some nameless PS2/XBox game that I'd complete/get bored of in a week). I'm not ashamed of it at all. Windows XP has a "fisher price" look, but it doesn't mean that it's a crap OS.
Also on GC there are a lot of original games like Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin and Super Monkey Ball as well as the franchises such as Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Smash Bros., F-Zero, Metroid.........list goes on forever... I like them all, baby!
