The three consoles that will be fighting for the living room are Sony?s Playstation 2, Nintendo?s Gamecube, and newcomer Microsoft?s XBox. Throughout this article I will try to be completely non-biased and just factual.

Let?s start at the beginning, all three consoles have been released. The Playstation2 has a huge lineup of must have games out by the time the other consoles come around, the Gamecube coming in second with a strong lineup of games, but most won?t come out for a while, and the XBox in third with very few games that are great and none really planned.

Then after a while the online plans of the companies strart to take affect with XBox and Playstation 2 in the lead with lots of plans to expand their systems onto the world wide web, but where is Gamecube, relatively far behind, with very few plans, hiding behind Nintendo?s ?games only? strategy for the console.

As the three consoles begin to get more and more games, we start to see XBox lagging a slight bit, because they have nothing to represent the console like PS2 and Gamecube have Jak and Daxter and Zelda. Then XBox realizes it has no real mascots, just ones they bought and tries to make one, and they try to make one, but end up with a mediocre game. Microsoft is barely hanging onto the gaming industry, with PS2 and gamecube still waging war, but PS2 is one ahead because of their online plans.

When time goes on, the PS2 will be getting very original and creative games, while the Gamecube will be rehashing games that involve Mario, Zelda, and the rest of the Nintendo gang. So the PS2 will slowly pull into the lead leaving Microsoft completely out of it, and Nintendo a close second as it was in this last war.
