Man you guys..

PSP shortage? Doesnt surprise me :x

PS2/Sony has a huge developer's market going for them, every developer wants to develop for them because of the license and the potential customers the console brings. Should anyone buy more Xbox and GC games, more developers will go to those too. Sony IMO isnt a great company as most of their titles that they made themselves arent really that great for the most part. They just got more 3rd party developers.

GC has suffered because of their setback from N64, and because of the lack of developers willing to work with them. Its not that Nintendo is a bad company for the lack of games...but its because no one is willing to work with them for their buisness practices(sometimes). Some people say Nintendo's ways are old and overused, and sometimes its true, but would we say that if FFXI or Xenosaga or more great titles went on the GC? No it would be a non-issue if Nintendo's ways are a bit old as long as they are producing top quality games made from 3rd party developers...so far all i see is that, the more people interested developing games for you, the better you are off...Nintendo, unfortunetly doesnt have much interest in the gaming sector these days and therefore GC has not(and probably will not) reach its maximum potential due to non-interest. Nintendo however still makes best first party games the best out of all companies and support multiplayer aspects of a console in which are offline the best. <3

Xbox is about the same, they started off with bad footing, but they gained alot of experience now. If anything, their online gaming sector is among the strongest. They have the know-how on how to deal with things like that. And i am sure their online gaming section for the Xbox2 will be plenty huge.

Conclusion: Buy the console that fits your need the most...and Sony is evil to not make enough chips...purposefully or not...should have been expected...
