[Vicious_2003]

I apologize to Axuma for not responding to his question, I didnt catch that part of the post, or I was drunk, or...I dunno.

Vicious I was just wondering what were the flaws you mentioned that the GameCube had since day one?

The Gamecube...put simply, weather you like it or not, is geared towards a younger audience. Thats not where the gaming market is going. Its going towards games like GTA, not friggin Mario or Billy Hatcher. While I can respect that they havent just sold out and started mass producing games that display blood and guts, its just not smart. The kiddy market (Obviously) isnt keeping them in the running sales wise with Microsoft and Sony.

And lets talk features.

Is it capable of playing DVD's like the PS2 and X Box. NO

Early Online support like Sony and MC ? NO

A descent controller ? NO

And they dont have a whole lot of great games for the Cube. Maybe as many as the X Box. Every game rental place I go too has less Cube games than X Box games and most of the GC games either suck or feature little animated kids or cute fuzzy animals.

You can argue for Nintendo all you want. But they arent selling well....and thats the bottom line. They arent dropping prices as an out of the blue strategic move. They are doing it because they havent sold half as many systems as they projected . Im not saying it isnt a good move, it is, im sure they will sell more . Im just saying its a desperate move. It doesent mean theyre going to fold, who knows, they very well might come out with an awesome next gen system in 2006 that blows sony and MC out of the water. The Gamecube is a good system it just doesent stack up, and thats why it isnt selling well.
