I have made my point... but hey Xbox does have superior specs, but right now it doesn't matter because no one is making a game that use those superior specs 8)

Just because something has "higher" number don't mean its supiriour.. Its all how its designed.. Xbox is a PC just in a little box.. People can argue all they want but when i can run a normal linux distro on Xbox just with a mod chip to get around M$'s Security and i can hook up a USB Keyboard and Mouse to there controller ports (Yes the controlers use USB Tech) with just a few wire cuts and splices. So that tells me its a PC.. And second how they use Windows 2000 Stripped down because they don't need Plug and Play and all the other stuff they do for there os because they know what hardware is inside of it.. I also belive that all the games are written using a version of DirectX for the XBox. Which means that all the games can be ported to a computer with minimal hassle. but MS don't want them to do that then they lose sales of there Xbox and licensing fee's for it being on the xbox.

But back to what i am meaning it has higher processing speed but it also has a larger overhead with Win2k as the OS.. instead of custom basic os's if you wish to call them that on the Ps2 and GC. Along with the ps2 was designed from Ground Up to be nothing but gaming and is the only true 128 bit system. While the Gc was also built strickly for gaming and graphics Also nintendo made it easier to develop for thats why alot of companies are liking it. But the Xbox was built for gaming on the TV but it was built from Computers already.. (hell they use a Intel PIII 766) and just wrapped together to play games.. so nothing "Innovating" like the Ps2 or the GameCube is..

Another thing is that right now Microsoft is having to purchase companys to get them to make some games for them.. They just bought into RARE which who did they get it from ? Nintendo.. but the nice thing is nintendo kept all the licenses for DK and those other games.. So we will be hopefully seeing a new DK game in the future.. (Miyamoto says there will be no wholes in GC's line up) so for how MS is going right now and buying companies for Exclusives.. I hopefully hope they won't last for too long.. because they are worthless in the gaming market.. and the only reason they have even lasted this long is because they are Microsoft..

I think my rant is done.. god i hate Microsoft and there Non-Innovative ways..

But back to gamecube i just finished up Dead to Rights.. man is it a sweet game..
