Lying? Hardly.
Yes there is a big difference. Provide the evidence to back up your claim already, I keep asking for you to do so and you keep side-stepping.

It is perfectly relevent.

People said the same thing about Nintendo's prior platforms too. - They were wrong.

If giving the answer equals dodging the question in your dictionary, sure, I am "dodging the question".

Still waiting on that evidence to backup your claims. Chop chop, get to it. ;)

for the record, graphically speaking the Gamecube arguably bested the original Xbox in a few departments. It did not have as much raw power but arguably had the best looking games of that generation and better details (Metroid Prime, RE4 (by far the best looking version), Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, Rogue Squadron II),

I disagree, not much could top the likes of Conker at the time.


Halo 2 also had moments that were visually amazing at the time, same with Riddick and it's excellent use of Normal Mapping, Morrowind showed that the Xbox was able to stretch PC-like muscle with great water effects at the time and Dead or Alive 3 had probably the best graphics on it's release.





All three consoles were pretty different that generation, all of them had capabilities that the other hadn't, that's not to say the PS2 or Gamecube were lacking, they both had games which were also impressive, but it's hard to argue that the Original Xbox didn't have the edge.

also the Nintendo 64 is somewhat debatable, although technically it was graphically inferior to the competition, its games have aged much better than the Saturn / PS1 and frankly looked superior in some ways to begin with

Nintendo has not always been going for low specs and I think the N64/Gamecube are great explamples of this as the N64 was extremely competitive visually in its gen and the Gamecube is by many considered the best system visually of its generation (despite the Xbox's power)

In regards to the Nintendo 64, you just need to look at Perfect Dark. Nothing on the PS1 or Saturn could match it. :P Majora's Mask and a few other titles were leading the pack too.
The 64 had many advantages that the other consoles didn't have (Texture filtering being a big one), but unfortunately there are a few issues that brought the entire package down overall, but it was still superior when programmed it's way, it just took time for developers to get there.
Perfect Dark though had great lighting, shadowing, models and geometry, translucent textures (Notable on Windows/Glass/Water), Filtering, Reflections, it was an effect powerhouse back in the day.
