*is getting quite fed up with all the console bashing*
[rant]Yes yes I know everyone is entitled to their opinion...and yes I am a diehard Nintendo fan. But this constant debate over which console will beat the snot out of the others is getting on my nerves.
Sure the X-Box has better stats, sure Nintendo focuses on kiddie games (and there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion), etc etc.
But that in on itself does not decide which console is the best. Its the people that decide that, once all the new consoles are on the market.
In truth none may outdo the other...each may very well develop its own seperate fan base. There will be the diehards that stick to the console they love and the what I call 'neutrals' who get a combo of either the GC, X-Box, and PS2 (or all of them if they can afford it.)
Me...while I consider myself a diehard in the case of Nintendo, I tend to be more open minded and I currently have a PS2 (right next to my N64 FYI). I did have a Sega long time ago...but I lost faith in them...(and you know what happened to Sega...).
You must remember that Microsoft is taking a bold leap into an already well established gaming market. Whether or not the X-Box succeeds is unknown and that like I said before depends on the people.
And I have stated it before...currently there are not enough games that interest me that will be coming out on the X-box that warrents me buying one. Even if their were I wouldn't be buying one right away...rather I would wait a few months after release to see how it does (and for the price to drop a bit). After all...it makes no sense to buy a system that may end up going belly up now is it?
Flame me for this if you want...but I'll that I just stated is my opinion...and I have a right to it.

Oh and as for the question this topic askes...I think the GC has a very good chance agains the 'box, thank you very much.
