My brother bought the cube when it came out in 2001 and now it is gathering dust. he also bought a PS2 which everyone still plays. I was slightly dissapointed with the cube (stopped buying games long time ago) and esp the controller. I was also dissapointed with the lack of good fighting games like street fighter etc. On a positive note, i am very excited about the Wii and i think this is Nintendo's most significant moment in history which will propel it back to the top. There are so many things in the Wii that will appeal to every tastebuds.
