You have to admit Nintendo, and other consoles, always come with flaws in them one way or another, especially xbox(controller, huge size, faulty wires). Having a system that played games and dvds was great. You didn't have to waste 250 to buy a game console, and then 250 dollars or more in buying a dvd player since thats how much it costs when they started releasing them.

2) I didn't say that the Virtual Boy didn't sell well because they were embarassed. It just, didn't sell well.

3) The other consoles also have portable gear to play if your going out. Its nothing new. Though the GC was the lightest amongst the ps2 and xbox.

4) You misunderstood, which is my fault cause I wrote what I meant wrong. I mean that, when the GC came out, every game had to be saved in a memory card, maybe(which I would like someone to clarify me on this cause I'm not sure) the GC was built so small that the hardware was limited. All I know is that you needed to save a game in a memory card every,or mostly everytime ( at least all of my GC games had to be saved with a MC). Which now brings me to the problem of the memory card and why it was a flaw. The first memory card for GC that came out only had 50 blocks. Instead of the memory card that used bytes to save the game, It used blocks to store the game data on it, meaning that every game you bought and every new file you start with a game, gets stored in a different block. I have a total of 11 games for my GC. Around the 8th or 9th game, I had to start removing files to make space for my new game. Fortunately, Nintendo came through to us releasing new memory cards with more blocks. I myself bought one with 120 blocks and theres a new one out with even more blocks but they fill pretty quickly. If your a gaming fanatic that buys a hell of alot of games for GC. Then without a doubt the blocks are gonna fill pretty quickly, meaning you have to erase old game files ( which I don't like to do much) or go out and buy another card. Then if you have an old game you want to continue but its in another memory card, then you are gonna have to constantly remove and insert the memory cards, in which at one point it gets kind of annoying.
1.And most important) Don't pretend that you can tell how much/little emotion a person is putting into a post. It's just annoying when people think they can tell, cause they really can't.......at all. I mean seriously, think about it. Imagine having a normal discussion with someone, and then suddenly the guy starts trying to settle you down as if you're getting all heated up, when all along you're just talking like you usually do. That's pretty much what you're doing whenever you jump to conclusions like that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Why wouldnt you have a dvd player before the xbox came out? Geez, ive got 2 dvd-rom drives, 2 dvd players, and now an xbox and a ps2.....
Glad the extra $100 for the xbox and ps2 comes in handy in case the other 4 fail me
