I don't know what there is to argue about. Xbox is most powerfull of Consoles, and yes, has best visuals. GC has good visuals and faster loading times than Xbox. PS2 was released first and is the least powerfull machine. But it has games that other do not, if you are a RPGamer you can't live without PS2.

Now good PC over powers everyone of these easily in Visuals, but it's much more fun to play games like TMNT on a couch with Big screen and good sound system. Therefore GC version is the choice for me.

Anything on on PC's other than Stradegy, FPS, and occasionally racing games doesn't feel right to me. Consoles are where it's at for fighting games and platformers.

As much as it pains me to say it I can see Nintendo slowly slipping down past X-Box. Mario Kart and F-Zero are all well and good, but I need something BIG to look forward to. They could have at least mentioned Super Mario 128 or a new SSB. Instead they go crazy over a boring Pac-Man game! The fact that most people are too blinded by the fanboyism or just too plain immature to realize that Halo WAS a groundbreaking game and IS the best FPS ever made really makes me sick. Fanboyish comments will get you nowhere in a hurry. Don't say I'm an X-Box fanboy either because I've been playing Nintendo systems since I was two years old. Nintendo has and always will be top of my list, but bashing other systems that DON'T suck and other games that AREN'T bad is just plain stupid.
Nintendo is dissapointing me as well, but I know they are probably saving something for Space World. I'm just happy we get a new Mario RPG (with Luigi!), Fire Emblem (at last), Custom Robo (at last), and some pretty decent exclusives from Nintendo this year. Geist looks pretty awsome.

Halo is a great game, but I'm still rather partial to Goldeneye. Say and believe what you want, but I'm sticking to my guns and saying that it is the great console FPS and will be for a long time.

Yes think so to. And RTS and FPS game don't really belong to consoles. Even if you have keyboard and mouse wich most players don't, the resolution is to low. I play FPS games at 1280x1024 and it just doesn't feel right at 640x480. Pc is not the best platform for fighting/platformer games, but it's good that even TMNT fans without consoles can play the game.

Oh boy...it's been a while...

First, Triceraton...those poll results mean absolutely nothing besides the fact that more people own a Gamecube, which does make sense because it costs less.

Tiptup, don't tell me what I can and can not say.

Michaelangelo, get used to Nintendo being like that, in order to make those dream games they would first need money, and that is the easiest way to get it, and probly the most practical.

Raph, finding exclusive X-box games that are good may prove whether X-box is a system worthy enough to purchase. If all of its games are on GC and Ps2, then why not get one of them? I'd seriously like reasons why to purchase an X-box...maybe X-box Live, but I don't think X-box is the best system to be using online games when there are enough bugs offline.

Karpo, the visual stills may be better, but when the game is in action it is more choppy than the GC and thus the graphics aren't displayed as well. And yea, PC owns for RTS and FPS, but if there ever was an online fighting game for PC, I'd get it over any for the console.

I don't have much experience on Xbox, but I to have heard that some games suffer framerate problems. And Im pretty sure that so do some GC games, altough I haven't seen one yet.

The poll results don't mean "nothing," they represent the video game consoles that visitors to The Technodrome own. Shredder and I didn't make those results up, you know...

Anyway, this is not the place to debate about which video game console is better. If some of you still want to debate about that even though it's been done several times before, start a new thread in General Discussion. Personally, though, I'm sick of hearing from the kiddies who only care about which console is the "most powerful" and has the "best graphics" rather than about the games themselves. And besides, I think the original topic of this thread has already served its purpose, so I'm locking this thread to avoid any further arguments.
