Which was the better second-choice console?

Which was the better second-choice console?

GameCube. Xbox was literally just a Halo 2 console until the 360, and you needed to be a gorilla to wrap your hands around that controller.

I had fine taste as a child so I chose
PS1
PS2 /Gamecube
PC
PC
PC

I'd say the Gamecube. It had better exclusives, while the Xbox had a lot of overlap with PS2 multiplats. Multiplats were nearly invariably better on the Xbox though.

The smaller controller became the standard for the original xbox. The Duke wasn't around that long

thanks doc

Gamecube. There were maybe 2 xbox exclusives i wanted to play and probably 12 gamecube exclusives i wanted to play

It took two more years for the fatty to be replaced in Europe than it did in the US. It was too little too late.

None of the Xboxes ever have been worth jack shit.

Gamecube by a fucking mile. I mean they both lose to PS2 but that isn't the discussion.

Gamecube was the better console since it had great exclusives and the best coop games.
PS2 was shit. All it had was a bloated library while all its multiplats ran at 15 fps.
I have From Russia With Love on both NGC and PS2 and it's fucking unplayable on PS2 since it plays like a slideshow.

Multiplats were a torture to play on PS2.

>All it had was a bloated library while all its multiplats ran at 15 fps.
generalization is never wise.
MGS2, SH2-4, etc, were multiplats, and ran fairly steady 30 / 60fps on PS2. There was also those few NFS games that ran and looked better on PS2.

PS2 had the weebshit crowd lock and stock. Gamecube had Symphonia, Baiten Kaitos, and if you want to count it Thousand Year Door. Lost Kingdom was west. The hueg had fuck and all for anime boyos besides some shmups.

MGS2 and Silent Hill were developed for the PS2 first and ported later. MGS2 especially was very much a PS2 tech demo.

It also ran better on the PS2 than the Xbox.

>PS2 had the weebshit crowd lock and stock.
PS2 was also THE go-to system for survival horror fans. Sure, GC got REmake and 4 for the time being, but it's arguable if those can really compete with Silent Hill quadrilogy, Fatal Frames, etc.

xbox was a try hard pc, at least gamecube had exclusives.

>Look these 5 games didn't run like shit
The remaining 500 multiplats still did though.

>Sure, GC got REmake and 4 for the time being

negro you could get the whole franchise (except Dead Aim) TO THAT POINT on cube. I will forfeit though that PS2 had everything else though. Oh except THE BEST SURVIVAL HORROR ETERNAL DARKNESS SON!

Xbox OG had Ninja Gaiden, Otogi 1 & 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragon Orta, and of course, the Halo games.

Xbox if you were over the age of 10
Gamecube otherwise

Xbox was the better first choice console.

>negro you could get the whole franchise (except Dead Aim) TO THAT POINT on cube.
PS2 had the two Outbreak games too.
>Oh except THE BEST SURVIVAL HORROR ETERNAL DARKNESS SON!
Meh. It's good, but kinda overrated.

I regret not getting an Xbox.

xbox + gc was the best option

prove me wrong

PS2 had one game worth a shit and a billion 6/10 games. The fact that people suck it's dick is hilarious.

the big controller was comfy as fuck and i have small hands

PS2

gamecube. we all remember its games, but xbox? i can only remember the multiplats.

it was more like a billion 8/10 games, that's why it's respected as the best console ever

This. The PS2 was my second-choice to my Dreamcast.

>we all remember its games

gamecube strikes me as the one system of all time that had, literally, zero games. the only thing i can remember on it is eternal darkness. yes i'm sure it had every nintendo franchise but only nintendo people play those games

xbox, it had a lot of exclusive hidden gems (Otogi, Gun Valkerye, Jet Set Radio, Dead or Alive, Mechassault) and then you still had the best possible version of multiplats.

...

Have you played Quantum Redshift?

JRPGs are barely games so no. It has one good game and a billion mediocre games.

ps2 isn't thought to be good because of jrpgs lol, what a hilariously mistaken opinion

Ok, then name these so called thousands of 8/10s that aren't artshit like Ico or JRPGs. Hell there's only one good action game that is exclusive and it's not the one you're thinking of.

The Dreamcast

>that is exclusive

honestly only children ever complained about this

you know what else only children ever cared about? listing games off to have Sup Forums arguments

Xbox had a better line up imo.
>breakdown
>buffy the vampire slayer and the chaos bleeds sequel.
>galleon
>jet set radio future
>indiana Jones and the emperor tomb.
>voodoo vince
>grabbed by the goulies
>hunter the reckoning and redeemer.
>dreamfall chapters
>jade empire
>whacked

>yeah I'm sure it had games but I'm a big boy so those games don't exist
I'm sorry you're so fragile, user

no i'm not sure it had gaems. i can't really remember one game except eternal darkness

it seems like it had no games both in terms of volume and quality..

Throw a ds in there and I'd say you're golden

jsrf is better than every gamecube exclusive
>but muh smash
yawn

My nigga! The Xbox was the true successor to the Dreamcast.
