Mind you after saying gamecube, I just looked over at my TV and my xbox is the only last gen console still set up. I wonder if it means that the xbox had longevity edge for me. however I just play my GC on wii and PS2 on Ps3. but I still play a lot of XBOX games

That's only because you don't have a 360.


 I still need to boot up my Xbox sometimes to play a game that either isn't emulated property or isn't emulated at all on the 360. While the 360's BC is nice (Xbox games in HD, hell yeah!), it's very, very far from all-encompassing.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

 I play my Cube all the time, but that's because i bought loads of cheap (and good) Cube games lately (hint: Eternal Darkness, Resident evil0, Viewtiful Joe, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron... The good games)

I think the PS2 takes the cake simply because if that's your console, you're not even at the point where you have to look back yet.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

ps2 by far. i had an xbox too, but all mulitplatform games were purchased for the ps2 because all of my firends had a ps2. i only got halo 2, pgr2, and tomb raider legends for my xbox.

i despised the gamecube pad to be honest. buttons looked like they were mapped by a child. too many shapes, colours and sizes! but i was in love with smash brothers melee. rainbow six sucked massively on the gamecube though!

 Are companies even releasing PS2 exclusives anymore? I know the ol' system is still getting a handful of cross-platform titles, but I'm not sure of much else.

I had a gamecube and a gba, I had most fun with... GBA

GBA was a lot of fun, especially when they released final fantasy 1,2,4,5&6 for it
