[Cloverfield]

I seem to have the same view as LuxoJr on the Gamecube... it really doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe because I have the mindset of "kiddie console" also with games like Mario and *cringes* Pokemon. I grew up on Nintendo systems... the original NES and then the Super NES. I then moved onto PC based games and then came back to consoles only about a year ago when our family got a PSX.

Although Steel Shark, you do mention some good names there in the list of mature games. I think I read Resident Evil 0 will be on another console (could be wrong about this).

I think that Nintendo have cornered their market and seem to do very well in this area. However it is interesting to note that the N64 came out some time after the PSX, and while the price of a PSX is still around $180 (here in Australia), the N64 has dropped way down to about $120 in the period of about 8 months.

Even if there are going to be some more mature titles, I would very much doubt getting a Gamecube... simply because I am definately getting an Xbox and possibly getting a PS2 (depending on what happens with Final Fantasy X and beyond). After all I only have so much time to play games... and usually that's not as often as I would like (unfortunately).
