I loved my PS2, but haven't touched it since I bought my cube. I've even traded most of my PS2 games to replace them with the same title for my Cube. Anyone else done the same?

I picked up the Cube when they started giving away the free game bundles. I think that was about 7-8 months ago (?) Since then I've collected about 40 games and have barely touched my PS2.

Xbox

I've had my cube since Christmas 2001 right after launch. I've had my Xbox for only 4 months and I have not played my Cube much since getting the Xbox. The FPS and racing games are so much fun. I did just start playing Zelda Wind Waker again. The 1 player action games are more fun on the Cube I must admit. Mario Sunsine, Zelda, Luigi's Mansion, Metriod. You just can't beat the classics.

I guess the theory is whatever you purchased last you are probably playing the most!

Yeah I think its only natural that once you have played many of the games on your first system then get another, you will play the older of the two much less as you begin playing the newer.

Actually I started playing my GCN more once I got my GBP. I started playing all my GBA games on it. Now I'm actually just been purchasing Gamecube games and increasing my collection. My problem is that not one game has caught my attention, so I tend to play a little of one game, stop then go to the next.

The only game that most definitely caught my attention and played just about non-stop was Viewtiful Joe. As I mentioned one time, it is the only game that I actually replay just for fun.

After i beat RE0,REmake there isnt really anything that's exciting. All of nintendo's main franchises(mario,zelda,metroid) have failed to capture my heart this generation.

I basically started buying and playing games for the Cube more because
the games tend to be cheaper, the graphics are better than on my PS2
and the load times are drastically reduced. I only bought the system because it was cheap, but it impressed the hell out of me.

You feel guilty because you're "cheating" on your Xbox and GC? That Dreamcast: Homewrecker!

I'm with scarface. Why not just enjoy all 3? I can't say which system I play more. Never really think about it. It depends on which game I decide to play that night. Tonight was Nightfire on the XBox. This game is loads of fun. Last night was Silpheed on the PS2. A very pretty shooter. I'll probably continue with Nightfire until I finish it. Was looking a Defender on the cube tonight also. That will probably be next to play.

I must have 30 games still in shrinkwrap, lol. I love CAG!

I have all 3 consoles, and I played Gamecube the most. Too many good games, like Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil, Mario and spinoff, Final Fantasy, Animal Crossing, Viewtiful Joe and many others. They are all unique games you can't find on other console.

I love my Cube, but man, I'm *so* not in their target age bracket, and the control scheme for games *in* my age bracket are much better on the Xbox or Ps2. The former has better graphics imo, and the latter has more variety of games (I just reserved copies of Fable and Lifeline, for example). I should reiterate that I also own all three systems.

Now, to defend my cube, I want to say that I'm still a big nintendo fan. I own two SPs, and I play Crystal Chronciles with my friends and my fiance (4-player). I own Metroid, Link, the Cthulu mythos game, and a few other nice gems like the new MarioKart (which I think transcends age boundaries while still maintaining that "fun" feeling that was aforementioned here, something Nintendo needs to do more of). The GameCube is more "fun" feeling at times, but I just find myself using the other systems more, as I feel I'm closer to their target audience now. After the N64, I've always been a little wary of that. (and I dont want to get into an arguement about the N64, because to me it was a huge disappointment aside from Link games and Goldeneye and Perfect Dark).

I picked up a GC when it came bundled with the Zelda disc. I have picked up about 14 games from the CC clearance special and from some EB sales. I have more ps2 games than for the GC, but right now I play more on the ps2. I also have a genesis, SNES, NES, Dreamcast, N64, and PS1. I am currently working on Onishima, Wipout Fusion, Jak and Daxter, Timesplitters, Disaster Report, Hot Shots Golf 3, Tekken Tag, Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter, Star Wars Starfighter, and on the GC Pikman, Outlaw Golf and Starfox Adventures. It's hard to find time when you have an eight month little girl running around. I need more time. I also have a bunch of games I haven't even tried yet....ps2- Red Faction, Primal, Beyond Good and Evil, The Mark of Kri, Dark Cloud, Max Payne, Summoner, Bloodrayne GC - Lost Kingdom, Red Faction 2, Timesplitters 2, Balder's Gate, Luigi's Mansion, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,. I know there are more, I just can't remember off the top of my head. So many games so little time :(

You forgot about Worms: Armageddon, Smash Brothers, Mario 64, and Mario Kart 64.
