NodNarb: I have never heard Nintendo admit that XBox is better. If you speak the truth, post up a link to a page with proof. And I already know about the multiple processors. I was referencing, as should have been understood, the primary running processors. When you get a new, for example, 1.0 GHz computer, why do they not advertise all of the other processor running speeds? Because only those who really know their computers would care; the "unwashed masses" do not know, and do not care. Another example is how gaming requirements speak of the main processor. A computer does have multiple processors, as anyone of somewhat decent intelligence knows, but there is one primary one.
A person of decent intelligence, at least in the electronic department, also well knows that unlike computers, consoles do not have a primary processor; a workhorse processor, yes, but no main one. The primary functions are all divided out.
XBox has a primary processor.

(Notice they say "the most powerful processor of any console"; of course it has lesser processors in it, but the Intel 733 is the main one.)
Gamecube does not.

And the hardware for an N64 is really not that different.
On a secondary point, notice how XBox does not have any dial-up modem attachment, while Gamecube does?
I tire of any petty arguments, however... Istanbul has the most logical point yet. I follow that same perspective; I like gameplay most of all.
