Slashdot has linked to a humorous look at the console wars over at Pointlesswasteoftime.com. The first part is on the GameCube, the second (which is rather short) on the Xbox, and the third on the PlayStation 2.

As I said, the page on the Xbox is a short one, but it does contain this tidbit:

There is a feel of inevitable victory with the X-Box line, despite the fact that this version is still 40 million units behind the Playstation 2 in sales and that Microsoft could have made more money off the expensive machine if it had wrapped them in hundred-dollar bills and fired them out of a cannon at passing pedestrians. But of course, that's the point. One gets the feeling that Bill Gates is willing to spend $500 per unit on the X-Box 2 and mail them out for free like AOL trial disks if that's what it takes to win.

The summary conclusion is that "the past belongs to Nintendo, the present to Sony, the future to Microsoft." Although some might disagree.
