I voted both. Nintendo has heaps of good titles, but... XBox has Halo, not to mention a fair share of the multi-console games. I've played XBox... the controller takes a while to get used to, but you get the hang of it. :)

1. It's a freakin' Mario site. Do you honestly think this is a legitimate poll?
2. "I hate videogames altogether?" Again, it's a Mario site. Why would someone be here if they hated video games?!

And have you noticed that a lot of Nintendo fans are X-box haters?  I'm not one of them, though.  I don't "hate" X-box, but I don't care for it either.

Other than a couple of demos at work I've never played an Xbox.  I'm not a fan of FPS games like Halo and I have GCN and PS2 to play multi-plat games.  Last summer my bro. from 2000+ miles away brought his Xbox, but I never played it.  We played and beat RE4.  Year before that we beat Zelda: 4 Swords.  I'm a Nintendo fan, but not exclusively.  I also like games like DDR, Guitar Hero, and Katamari Damacy.

I just played Black for Xbox, and it ROCKED!! But GameCube has RE4 and Mario, so I chose both.

What a silly question.  Nintendo, of course!

I don't hate X-Box, but I've never really played it for more than five mintues, so I have no love for it, either.  I'm sort of indifferent about X-Box.

I wonder how different the results of this poll would be if it allowed three votes from the following options.

- GameCube
- Xbox
- PS2
- None

I'd vote GameCube and PS2.

On any other forum for a console-specific franchise, you'd already have been flamed out of existence for this poll. Besides, you can like both X-Box and Nintendo. It's not really an "either-or" thing, although it certainly seems like it is for a lot of people.

Although, in a lot of TV polls where system prefences are asked, the question is always "X-Box or PS2?" GameCube is almost never mentioned. I don't know if this is due to contract things, or whatever. Always been a pet peeve of mine.

You just reminded me to ask my GameStop manager if we have a contract that dictates how much wall space for any system.  We have about four time more Xbox space then Gamecube space.  The total Nintendo (including GBA, DS, etc.) space is probably only half the Xbox/Xbox360 space.  Playstation 2 probably has approx. the same space as Xbox, but with the PSP stuff Sony has the most floor/wall space.

I am also not a "hater" of any system. I'll give reasons I think Nintendo pwns another because I like Nintendo best, but I've played all 3 current gen systems. Wait... have I...? I obviously have played GameCube, I played Xbox once, Teris Worlds and some FPS, but... I know I've played my friend's PS1, but haven't seen his PS2... my sister has a PS2 but I've never played it... maybe I haven't played a PS2 after all. Hmm. Oh well.
I'm sure that if money grew on trees or in my closet I would own all 3. I'm not very good at FPSs though.

I, for one, have played all three current-gen consoles at least once.  I own a GCN, obviously, I've played (and enjoyed) Tekken Tag on my Bro-in-law's PS2, and I played an X-box store demo, but I really couldn't catch on.  Don't hate it, just never acquired a love for it.

I've also played all the current generation (well, last generation for the X-box).  The PS2 was a little tough for me, since I couldn't remember which shape was which button unless I looked at it.  But I've only ever played it a few times, a couple minutes each time.  I like the X-Box, though there aren't a whole lot of selection for games-bit too many FPS.  I do like some FPS, but there are only so many variations.  The Gamecube is my favorite system, but it may be biased since I have played Nintendo since I was young, and Mario is one of my favorite characters in any game.
Why do I need to show the work to my math problems, so long as I get the right answer every time?

How come no one has pointed out yet that this poll asks you to chose between a console and a company? That's apples and oranges, man!

And why is everyone responding to poles like this with "It's a Mario site" if this is General Game Chat? Sure, Xbox vs. Nintendo is a bit generic and certainly too specific (There's also Sony/PS2 and even Atari) but they have the right to post non-Mario stuff on a non-Mario area of the forum. And yeah, most of the people here would instantly choose Nintendo, but that response is getting cliched.

Yes, but it's very obvious and we'll assume that you know what most of the answers will be.

As for the question. I chose both. I like both Gamecube and Xbox.

I chose Nintendo, as I prefer it over the Xbox. Don't get me wrong, I like both of them, but I prefer the good ol' Mario games over Microsoft.

Coolkid: Though there wasn't a HUGE gap in time between the previous post and your bump, I think everyone would be happier with a bump of a thread that was favored by many people, rather than one that asked a question that surely was going to have an answer of either "Nintendo", or "Nintendo isn't only the great console, PS2 is/Xbox is/PS2 and Xbox are pretty cool too" which most people expressed distaste for.
