Xbox CPU weak?

[Andy182]

I have a lot of friendly arguements with people about console wars. They say that the Xbox's CPU is weaker than the GameCube's even though it is 700 something to 400 something. How is this possible? Everyone knows the Xbox is more powerful, but..anyway, please give me something to shut them up! lol

ok... what is the gc gpu specs? IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE GPU SPECS R!!!!!!! xbox is all that matters! lol i am happy with the way the xbox looks and who cares if the gc COULD make better graphics, it WONT! they will make everythign look cartoon instead of real... so really the xbox beats it hands down

first of all.....no, not all the games are cartoony, although some are (Luigi's Mansion, Mario, Zelda), yet a cartoony game can still be impressive. Luigi's Mansion is a prime example of how a cartoony game can looks stunning with lots of lighting effects and stuff. Even toon shading such as in Zelda or Jet Set Radio can be nice looking.

Well yes gamecube have a custom chip but their engineers must be crap if they had the chance to make a amazing chip but no they blew it and so we move to xbox it has a nividia thing and it is a well known name in the market and it beats the gc chip hands down.

[Aaron]

Koopa, im not saying that cel shading isnt good for some games, but you HAVE to admit that Zelda isnt the game for that graphical method, miyamoto swift kicked himself in the ass on that move.

[Koopa]

I'll admit that his decision was very unpopular, and I'm shocked and kinda ticked off at him, so yeah you're partly right. This is turning out to be the final straw for a lot of older gamers, so as of NOW, it could be classified as a "bad decision" I personally would have laughed a month ago at anyone who said Zelda should be cel shaded...but Miyamoto knows the business better than any of us do, and I'll show my respect for him and his work by not bashing Zelda till I see more in depth previews and reviews, and I get to try it myself.

[Aaron]

see koopa how easy it is to admit that Nintendo is losing its grip?

ummm....have you ever heard of two little machines called NES and SNES? I guess not, because if you did you'd also know they in fact DID have a large grip of the console market. You're allowed to dislike a company, but you can't ignore facts.

[Aaron]

koopas right... but i only really consider NES as their one sole successful console... NES kicked major ass

the xbox's cpu is a modified p3 how much modified? we don't know so any arguement is pretty much crap. the cpu in gc is a power pc like a macintosh so the 400 is alot closer to the 700 in xbox than the numbers lead you to believe but the xbox is designed to be less cpu intensive so it doesn't need as powerful of a cpu, so the xbox still wins in this dept. but not by that much

[Xboxmaster2001]

i agree with nes as a good system and snes was ok my bro posted that grip thing i told him to get his own username maybe he'll listen i hate when he uses my usernames just wanted to clear that up..

[giddiup456]

why didnt they make link older in the new zelda game im sick of him wearing dipers and the new marion game lets run around with a piece of **** on my back and dodge the giant onions.Plz i hav a NES a SNES a gameboy and a 64 they were good yes (except 64) but stop livn in the past that was then this is now. Now is X-Box! Gamecube favours first party games to much and that will kill them. And sure Gamecube will have sum good games every system does but im tires of watching marion and all the other queers onscreen i want to see some Normandy beach action wooo (MOHAA)

[Koopa]

I can reasonably assume that saying all you do in the new mario is "run around with a piece of **** on your back" could be compared to the statement "all you do in HALO is shoot people." The game's creator specifically stated that there purposefully was not alot of gameplay-related information shown to keep it secret (which is a bad idea, IMO....but thats another topic)

NES and SNES?

You need to stop living in the past, little one.
