to be fair, nintendo are meeting all expected targets they have set themsleves, people are branding the cube as a failure mainly because its not shifting as many units as the ps2 (which is overwealming). Its not that they are doing bad, they are selling the amounts they predicted - but it just doesnt compare to sonys marketing expertise. Which is a shame really, because the mainstream dont know what they are missing. Just like everycube owner who will not get a ps2 when it has so much to offer too. For example - ICO , REZ? Personally though, times are really exiting for anybody who has/wants and cube - beacause the quality of recent and upcoming titles are absoulutly amazing. Mario , Zelda , Metroid are masterpieces Mariokart , f -zero or 1080 avalance anybody… Ⓜ ---

In canada they are no packaging the xbox with the “s-type” controller which is the smaller version or the monstrosity originally developed. I love it - and dont have any problems with my hands fitting it. Some of the buttons are in weird spots and I still think that the GameCube has the most amazing controler but they did a good thing releasing the smaller one. Mariofan - I am really looking forward to the new 1080 but only if they give it a makeover… look at the videos and screen shots, the thing looks like was devloped for the 64. Take a look at the new shots for Amped 2 for the Xbox - that’s what a next gen snow boarder should look like - and if anyone can pull off the best game in the genre it’s Nintendo 🙂 ---

For example - ICO , REZ?** ICO is one of the most beautiful games i have ever played. The visuals brought me to emotional levels of awe. None of my friends here liked it, which really annoyed me. Just because someone creates a game with a bit of intelligence they dont like it. Uncultured swines! Some people are so ignorant! Anyone else get that problem? ---
