Reading pieces like these they'd surely expect two or three more years of 1st party support from Microsoft. Next year MGS have Conker, Forza and ummm... yeah two announced 1st party games pretty much sums it up. The console has just jumped the shark and will be replaced with a non-bc machine within a year yet idiots are telling people its a good casual investment equal to PS2. Sad.

Unison said:Is there anyone in this thread who only has a GameCube? I am genuinely curious...
AniHawk said:Not in this thread, but certainly on this board. There's one guy here with over 80 GC games (but I think he's multiconsole).

Fei said:I hate to do this, but it's ridiculous to assume PS2 hasn't had 6 AAA games this year. I mean, just in the last few months PS2 has gotten Jak 3, MGS3, R&C3, GTA:SA, Ace Combat 5, and Sly2. And that's just in the past 2 months or so.
Amir0x said:I like to add Shin Megami Tensei and Katamari Damacy and Phantom Brave and, shit, I'd like to add a whole lot more to that list![]()
Jade Empire isn't an MGS title but I guess it is technically published and probably funded by Microsoft so fair enough. Still, nothing officially confirmed beyond March and with the Xenon due later in the year publishers aren't going to be putting new or exclusive IP onto Xbox. The "journalist" who wrote this article is screwing his readers by saying the Xbox is equivalent to PS2 or that the Xbox has better upcoming exclusive software than the GC.AniHawk said:cja forgot Jade Empire. Pirates! should be coming to Xbox too, right? If the Pirates! port isn't screwed up, that's a purchase for me.
That's about it though. If I'm still working retail by next year, I'll definitely get Conker for $8.50...
AniHawk said:I'd like to take away Phantom Brave from that list.
AniHawk said:Aww, now I've done it...
Amir0x said:I'm very passionate about SRPGs, and Phantom Brave happens to be at the top for me![]()
AniHawk said:I realized too late that you were probably the poster who wrote a novel on why PB is better than FFT in another thread.
Yeah. With one console, that's where the 3rd-party games go. It's sad some people pretend 3rd-party games don't count for anything in some snobby way. F'ing bastards only play AAA-Exclusive Xbox titles. ("Feh, Prince of Persia is crap, I much prefer the superior EXCLUSIVE Blinx!")AniHawk said:A lot are multiconsole, like EA and Activision games (which could equal something like 25 titles right there).

I still can't find the article or press release of this info. Please someone direct me.Unison said:Didn't the Cube sell something like 250,000 units in since the Mario Kart bundle was released?
Willco said:Not to add fuel to the fire, but is the only counter attack for Nintendo fans Resident Evil 4?
... C'mon, it's not even a GameCube exclusive and freakin' Zelda comes out next year. How come nobody says, "Don't forget Zelda!"
What I really want to know is if there is some brochure all you guys get that tell you how to defend GameCube on Internet forums.

Ok, so it's from Nintendo's press release.JoshuaJSlone said:http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=25667
I don't find 250,000 particularly impressive, though, considering that it's for the latter half of November.
Subitai said:Ok, so it's from Nintendo's press release.
Anyway, you're right considering they sold 468k 2 years ago and 754k last year. Although, Amazon lists the bundle availability starting Nov. 2nd. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Hopefully they've sold as many non-MK bundles for November too.

GC is everywhere by the sounds of it. I think I hear the gears of the momentum train chugging into 2005.

Catchpenny said:For someone who doesn't have an interest in realistic racers/shooters, and wants to save $50 or more? Absolutely. I'd definitely recommend it to someone younger.
In fact, I'd recommend it over Xbox in general unless they like racers and online games. Xbox will be just as dead if not more dead than Gamecube in a year to make way for Xenon. I still see big titles on the release schedule for Gamecube...Xbox has Jade Empire and Conker, that's pretty much it for interesting exclusives.
