Well.... sort of, anyway. Thar she blows.
My own thoughts? "OMG IT'S THE SAME THING BUT BETTAR GRAPHIX".
Seriously, it looks a lot like the old one. Except they have a camera (a.k.a., PS2 Eyetoy thing), and instead of going with a cooler looking colour scheme, like the old black and green, they went mono-white. Probably to give the impression that it's all sleek and futuristic and stuff, but it looks too plain, cold and sterile to me.
And the controller looks like it's seriously uncomfortable to hold. Maybe that's just me.
Can't say I dig the new look, really.... too neutral. It's still a long way off, so that may not be the final look of the thing, but if it is.... well, as long as it plays well.  _________________

Aw, it sucked more than first xbox. Their controllers had enough to scare me away. Just another crappy computer I ever see in my life. _________________

2 things that need to pull me in:
Games that are made for it and
the feel of the controller, what's good comes from a game when you can't even play it properly or comfortably  _________________ You're just a human being, my dear, sweet child |

Do you notice those controller look like Microsoft's Gamepad Pro?
Microsoft need to work on size...since their xbox took too much space.

That looks seriously uncomfortable, and way too huge and bulky. _________________

The xbox 360 will fail I think. Its the weakest of the three but will be made faster. They are trying to do what sony did with the ps2. I think they will end up like the dreamcast though. |

Guys may I remind you..
Gates has money. People love money. Talented game developers are people. Then, Talented game developers love money. Gates gives money to talented game developers so they make games for the Xbox360 and no other console besides it.
In the end, it will depend on if the game developers can make games without feeling passion for that game, since the incentive is money.
Overall, the gamecube is a better console than the ps2. The ps2 is on top because of games. Gates noticed that and is buying people to make games. |

I don't like the fact the GC can't play regular sized discs and it's cube shape. _________________

The games are truly what make the console. A console without good games won't win. Nintendo has to realize that sometime XD
And, call me strange but I like the boxy shape of the GC :p tought I like the shape of the ps2 better. |

Nintendo puts out quality games. They just get overlooked because they don't put 8 million polygons in to a female characters' breasts, or devote 75% of their system's power to graphics.
And I prefer the cube shape too.... it's small, so it's portable. Easier to carry with you if you take it somewhere.  _________________

After all, nintendo likes to target YOUNGER audiences.  _________________
