Gamecube Profile

Built to replace the N64, the GameCube is Nintendo's main contender and was launched in Japan in September 2001.
It hit British shelves in May 2002 and sold 1 million in 11 weeks.

The console is cube-shaped and some people say the graphics are even better than the PS2.

At £79 it's the cheapest of the main three consoles.

There's no DVD playback with the current model. Internet gaming is possible but with a separate adaptor.

There's a wireless control pad available too and gamers can connect to the GameBoy Advance.

Nintendo say their strength is the power to connect their portables and consoles together.

Hm, the grfx specs are better than the PS2 ones. PS2 is technically close to Dreamcast while GC and xBox are similar advanced.
