Gamecube - Going down the tubes?

[princevegetam]

areas where GC is crap compared to the other 2:

PS2 Xbox GC
CPU Clock Speed: 294.912 MHz 733 MHz 485 MHz

GC wins in this cateogry against PS2 but doesn't come close to Xbox.

GPU:

PS2
150 MHz Sony
"Graphics Synthesizer"

XBox
250 MHz NVidia
"XGPU"

GC
202.5 MHz ATI
"Flipper"

GC wins again against PS2, but not Xbox, close tho.

Polygons Per Second:

PS2
66 million (raw)
Xbox
125 million (raw)
GC
6-12 million (with game effects on)

In this category, GC is COMPLETELY outclassed by the other two.

PS2 Xbox GC
Media Capacity: 4.7 GB 9 GB 1.5 GB

Same, GC is COMPLETELY outclassed by the other two.

Media:

PS2: CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

Xbox: CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

GC: 15mm Optical Discs

GC discs can't be burnt, but it really doesn't matter that much. GC can't play CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tho, which is a downside.

Memory Card: Xbox and PS2 have 8MB memory cards while GC only has 4MB, but it doesn't really matter that much.

PS2 Xbox GC
Audio Channels: 48 channels 256 channels 64 channels

GC beats PS2 by a small margin, but Xbox completetly destroys the other two.

As you can see, GC is better than PS2 by a little, but certainly NOT close to Xbox.
