well one can dream can't they
Microsoft sells Rare and partners with Sega and the Old gaming battle begins again Sega vs Nintendo.
The End
Gaming is not the same anymore.
There is no sequal to StarCraftNokkonWud said:Interesting you should talk about sequals as a bad point and then mentioning you are into PC gaming
I think a lot of people will get a 360 and a Wii over the PS3.
Edit: And I miss the SNES vs MegaDrive days.
I see very little reason for anyone who owns the older versions to buy the 360 version, unless you own an HDTV and/or have cash coming out your ears.

I totally agree though, Wii will bring fun back.
Ahh, you make that point, but PC games has a huge back catalogue, and unless the online aspect of the game is going to be brilliant, or the sequal adds something new and it is more as part of a franchise, then I will not buy into them.
Need to decide on what games to get with a Xbox360, I have no idea what games with 3/4 on the end are any good as they are new to me, were not around for the megadrive and N64.

it sold something like 11 million.
Not that bad but nothing like what it should have sold... 40+ million is what it deserved at the least.
I bought one and still have it. I never play it really which is a shame, it was my first console and likely my last, unless i get a Wii that is

Well at the end of 2005 about 20million Gamcubes had been sold and Nintendo makes profit on them all. i don't know how much profit but even if its £20 its still a good bit of money.
Nintendo have DEEP pockets and its no wonder why.
I think Nintendo will make big bucks from the Wii, Ive seen some early specs that suggest the Wii is basically an overclocked gamecube with the fancy controllers. The fact the same Zelda game will release on gamecube and the Wii enforces these specs as being true.
For Sony, some games will just sell their consoles, like MGS4 and the new GT, and the new final fantasy lets not forget about that, the japanese will buy the console just to play final fantasy.
My friend is a Sony fanboy and he cannot help but put Nintendo down at anything they do. I think there are just some people out there so hooked up around Sony that they cant imagine something else being better or more fun to play.
The Console scene isnt really a war anymore. Back in the days of the Snes and megadrive, you had a feeling that there was competition. That was back when consoles had one purpose - to play games for fun. But just now there really isnt any competition, Nintendo are solely focused of making fun games, Sony are solely focused on being THE home entertainment system, and Microsoft are too I guess. Whats the point though when only one of them has enough balls to take massive risks, risks like naming their console Wii and making a totally new way to control games as the consoles main control method?
And it is a risk, it could have been a total flop like the super vboy or whatever it was called that nintendo made and released (the one where you look into goggles and games are in red to make them come off the screen). I remember when Sega used to take such risk back in the day of the megadrive, with the megaCD and then the mega 32x (or whatever it was called), risks in innovation are needed to propel gaming forward, to bring back competition between companies.
All I saw at E3 was a ridiculous copy of Nintendo's innovation by Sony (which was unneccessary imo), with the loss of controller feedback rumble. And then 2 versions of the PS3, one which is heavily handicapped compared to the other, another very poor idea.
Basically I expected more thought from the leader of the console 'war', Sony.
