PS3 and Xbox 2 look pretty kriffing awesome... not much about the N5 though.

[Andy 57]

Cool.

Yeah, sadly it looks like if Nintendo don't get their heads together they could go the same way as SEGA. Now that would be a shocker.

hmm... I'm not being bias.. But I think the PS3 sounds the best.. probably because of the greater level info about it..

X-box doesn't seem all that good.. neither does N5

[Drake 53]

Actually....I kinda agree. It would be very unfortunate if the X-Box 2 didn't have the HDD. That was one of the star features of the X-Box. I was also looking forward to being able to play original X-Box games on it...but apparently they may be scrapping that. Well, I suppose it's too early to say much about it...anything can change this early in development.

[chozen 1]

Yeah.. Hopefully the new PS3 will give us, ps players, the ability to get a few of the more decent x-box games.. like... Halo.. and.. Halo2.. and Halo3.

[Drake 53]

Halo will always be on X-Box turf. :p

[chozen 1]

You said that about Splinter Cell.. Grrr... I can't believe that they exchanged mgs for that piece of uselessness..

Anyway.. You need Halo.. Apart from Halo the x-box games suck..

:roll: Riiiiiiight. There are tons of great Xbox games. But that's another thread...

I seriously doubt that Microsoft would leave out the HDD. But, being Microsoft, anything can happen. But the Xbox 2 also gets next-gen Radeon graphics and a next-gen variant of the G5 processor. :twisted:

CELL!

Most of the good x-box games are on all consoles and pc.. X-box has few good self games.. Unlike gamecube.

[CorSec 5]

I'm only hoping they make the N5 backwards compatible...which seems likely..otherwise...the secretness is unnerving.

[Andy 57]

It would be a big mistake for Nintendo to not have backwards compatibility, I think.

Nintendo is planning on releasing a console 2004 that is neither the successor to the GBA or GCN. Their GCN successor is supposed to be released in 2005. I'm not sure about the GBA successor, but they have something up their sleeves. We will have to wait till e3 this year to find out the info on these systems.

Hi Vuu. I'm the 'Resident Retard' as some, or one, might say. Feel free to ask me for impartial advice, with brutal honesty of course, or anything else you might need to cramp your day. :)
