Other reasons to own a Gamecube

Well in the whole sceme of things there are two things that stand out. A first GAmes sell the system and B First party games use a systems potential far better than "most" 3rd party compines.

Xbox has a huge hil to climb. First off the only 2 games that have made any true profit for the Xbox is Halo and Halo 2. M$ has made the majority of it's profit thru Xbox live. Second do any of us here really think Halo would have done as well as it had if M$ didn't buy stop the release of Halo for the PC when it did. (Thier reason was if Halo was on PC Europe players would have played on thier PC's and not the Xbox)
Second if there was a sure fire way to have a libary of games avaliable to the public when you release a new system it is to have backwards compatablity. (Look at what it did for the PS2 and is a major reason GBA has survied over the years) But Zboz has already said that it's new system will not be Backwards Compatiable with old Xbox games. (I belive this is due to M$ trying to prevent priarcy, but hey that just my view)

Oh Ryujin, I got a good example for ya, which version of Dragonball Z: Budokai(first one not 2 or 3) would you rather play. PS2 had polgon graphics, GC had Cell Shaded graphics. Key note every Dragonball Z: Budokai since the GC version has been in Cell Shaded. I personal like the GC versions better.
