Well Chew, Tony is 39. He's single. Lives by himself. So what we need are games for 39 year old dudes living by themselves. He's mostly gonna be playing by himself.

I love my GameCube, but it doesn't have many titles that seem to fit that mold. Metroid Prime <b>maybe</b>. I don't see The Tone getting into Eternal Darkness or Wind Waker. SSB Melee isn't really all that fun single-player. Don't see The Tone doing Super Mario Sunshine. I dunno man. I just don't see him having much fun with the GameCube currently.

But the Xbox has got all the Clancy games and TimeSplitters 2 *plus* Halo, the good racing games (PGR, Rallisport), RtCW, Mech Assault, Unreal Championship, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, etc. I can see The Tone enjoying all of those games, and he could even enjoy 'em with me 'cause we'd both get Xbox Live and then own everyone online. Mwahaha!

Cube's awesome if you're in the target audience, which, honestly, I would say is anyone under 30. People in the older age group were not, in general, playing Nintendo back in the day, and Nintendo's core audience is made up of two parts: people that have always played Nintendo and kids. Most older people are neither.
