ok guys im very excited to be making a thread right now this is so awesome! bare with me n my excitement for being able to participate again! :)

anyways, i am working right now at the little game shop i work at, and this lady was buying a gamecube, right? and her bf was all into his ps3 and kind of talking smack on the poor little cube.

well, being me, i decided to stick up for the gamecube and make the totally outrageous claim that maybe, i dunno, the gamecube is better than the ps3? he didnt take to this very well. but instead of taking the route of talking up the ps3, he decided to talk down on the gamecube. "that piece of crap sucked, and the wii is even worse!"

yeah, well the only point i bothered to make at all is that windwaker (that was one game she was buying) actually held its value, and there are going to be no games on ps3 that are going to sell for the price a lot of gamecube games, such as windwaker, sell for. it was the only point i wanted to make because i like to keep my arguments focused.

but that isnt the good part, my coworker friend came up and i asked, 'which do you prefer, ps3 or gamecube?'

he was like, 'im not getting into this' but the girl pushed and said, no really, which do you like better.

his response: "... gamecube"

the guy was completely at a loss for words. it was as if he had no concept that somebody may actually like the gamecube. and like it MORE than the ps3 for that matter!

overall it was a good experience. we opened up somebody's mind, and since there is going to be a gamecube in the house, maybe he will change his ways/mind?

if any of you were at the store at that moment, which would you have said? i think something interesting to point out is that the ps3 and the gamecube are not as different as some may think. both have very unique games that are specific to the console.

it 's very easy to tell just take a look to how many games released on ps3 and how many on gamecube you 'll get the answer

I would have said you can't really compare the two because they're different generation.

im a big proponent of quality over quantity. not saying the ps3 doesnt have quality, but i dont feel that quantity alone justifies which is better.

i understand, but that doesnt stop game sites or, anybody for that matter, for making a top ten consoles of all time list.

i just said about games because gamecube doesn 't offer anything more than games while ps3 ... so there is no comparison here

Not sure how bad the ps3 image is when people prefer the Gamecube to it...poor panda...

....How are you unbanned...

Alright I would just say the ps3 has much more better exclusives than the Gamecube, the controller is wireless, you get a hard drive, you get free easy to use online, the discs don't get scratched, you can watch movies and tv shows on the ps3 (It's a multimedia device), and there's an integrated store online (PSN) which you may purchase a wide variety of things.

I probably missed a lot, but those are some reasons as to why the ps3 is better than the gamecube and why I believe you can't compare the two because their from different generations and the gamecube at the time wasn't capable of anything aside from gaming.

Sidenote: Pikmin 2, used, is currently $40, more expensive than God of War 3, Portal 2, and as expensive as GT5. And that is a retailer's price, so Nintendo has nothing to do with that,

I would have actually answered Gamecube to every single videogame system except the SNES.
Mario Kart: Double Dash is the best racing game ever, people disliked it because it changed their so loved formula.
The Pikmin games are the best RTS games of all time.
Paper Mario TTYD is brilliant, a really creative and fun RPG.
Luigi's Mansion was very unique, it is also one of my favorite games of all time, people hate becuase it was different.
Mario Party 6 and Mario Power Tennis were excellent spin-offs.
Gamecube has both Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker, both in my favorite games of all time.
Mario Sunshine wasn't perfect, but it was still okay.

There are a ton of amazing and underrated Gamecubve jewels, and as I said, Gamecube is my second favorite videogame system ever.

Also, to all the people here saying the PS3 is better as if it was a fact.
