I know that Xbox has better multiplats in most cases and a better sound system and the hard drive. However, I feel like the Gamecube has a bit of a more diverse library of exclusive games compared to the xbox, and with optimal accessories like the gamecube, it can double as the perfect way to play all Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games on your TV in 480p( or 480i w/o component), which I feel is something that can't be overlooked given the amount of titles available. I also really like the controller for the Gamecube over the Xbox controller layout, and most of the multiplats I've found for gamecube are mostly good so far. Online support for gamecube is pretty bad compared to the xbox, but there are ways to still play a few games like Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1+II online thanks to private servers. The graphics are pretty good for a 1999 chipset design and its got very fast loading times compared to xbox(+ps2)due to the mini-dvd discs( limited data is a downer) and design. So I'd think I've give Gamecube a slight edge over the Xbox, and I enjoy picking up stuff for both( even if most of the xbox titles I find in the wild are usually sports games). --- End quote --- Can't agree with that as i look through the game lists of both. |

It looks like the majority here are swaying towards Xbox, but in the end, it comes down to what exclusives appeal to you. Surely you should be able to find a list of exclusives available on each platform. --- End quote --- Well exclusives and features of course. Both of which had quite a few. |

I prefer the controller and small form factor of the GameCube, but the Xbox had more worthwhile games overall, particularly for Sega fans. I wasn't particularly crazy about either of them, though - not enough worthwhile exclusives, and as much as I disliked the XB's bulk, I also disliked the plastic toy feel of the GC controller. |

In my opinion, many of the exclusives on the Gamecube are worth buying the system for, it has a good variety in games with a few genres being pretty underrepresented, and even for some of the games that were initially exclusive to gamecube but got ports to either ps2/xbox, the gamecube versions ran much better than the ported versions( part of it is to really sloppy work by Sega of America). It's my fav system, and I prefer its exclusives to the exclusives on the original Xbox by a small margin. |
