Gamecube is more powerful than the Xbox. - Management - 2008-07-28
Has anybody actually looked into the specs and raw data of all of the systems of the generation and then compared the raw and performance data?
I remember from a forum I frequented about 3 years ago, there was information posted about a former tester for Square who ran a comparison and came out with evidence of the Gamecube actually being the superior system. Anybody else read this data or have it? I'm not sure if the information got around quite a bit or not, I just want his results sheet for something.

Er...I could react in one of two ways to this.
1) What in the world are you smoking?
2) LOL LOL LOL
Anyways, I couldn't really find it on Google.

I really find that hard to believe, as much as I hate X-Box.
@Claw theres a 3rd way to respond, pass the weed.

There's also a 4th way to respond:
No, the Gamecube is not 'more powerful' than the Xbox. Mainly focusing on graphics potential, it goes in this order: Gamecube>PS2>Xbox.

Xbox, in almost every way.

Hahaha, my co-worker's friends came into our work once and mentioned that they couldn't even trade in the gamecube for anything at like game crazy or game stop.

Thats because the GC is selling for so crazy cheap new, and even moreso used, that trying to trade it in will get you a couple of bucks at the most, but barely any at that.

[COLOR="Indigo"]I'll admit, I'm a Nintendo fangirl and I love my GameCube, but saying it's more powerful than an XBox? I lol'd. Even without seeing the specs, it doesn't sound very believable.
For the size of it, it's definitely a snappy little box. I chuckled a bit at seeing the processors used in both machines--the GC uses a PowerPC (which is the same as what was used in Apple's computers for quite some time) and the XBox uses an Intel processor (the ever-popular one seen in most PCs for a long long time).
But with a bigger case, you can get more power. It would be very very hard to make something the size of a GC be incredibly powerful, whereas with a XBox, you've got lots more room--especially for a more powerful fan to keep things cool.
I find it rather amusing that GCs have next to no retail value these days--makes me all the more glad I got mine for less than $5 3 years ago

Xbox is much more powerful however, RISC processors (ie PowerPC) are generally able to do simple mathematics much faster, just because they have a smaller instruction set. What we need to know is the actualy floating point operations per second, which for the Gamecube is apparently 1.9G. I don't see a number for the Xbox. But once again Xbox is much more powerful.

I actually met the people who made some of the hardware used for the xbox and xbox 360 -- they are more powerful in every single way
