What I suggest you do, if your considering buying a console, make sure you study each one as much as you can before you go out and buy. Wait until the Gamecube and Xbox are out and test drive them all, ask as many questions about the consoles as possible, read up about them as much as possible and go for the one which YOU think has the most potential, dont just take others words as fact, basically it's all just pure speculation at the moment as none of us have even touched an Xbox or Gamecube yet. Wait and see, study up and give each console a rigorous test before you even consider buying one. When you do buy one, just remember you'll never get anywhere NEAR the gameplay, graphics or speed of a PC.
