Ok, I have to address 2 points.

Point 1: The X-Box is more powerful than the GC
False: There is a reason why RE4 is only on the GC (As a test, pick a comparable game for the x-box and compare it to RE4, take an rpg from the ps2 and compare it with FF: Crystal Chronicles), the GC has the most Powerful graphics chipset of all the consoles out there. The X-Box, while powerful yes (It has more power than the PS2), doesn't have all the functionality of the ATI chipset that the GC is using. Also, of note, the X-Box 2 (If I remember correctly) will no longer be using the nVidia Chipset and is switching to the ATI chipset.

Point 2: The GC Freezes all the time and has not HDD
Now, the HDD, yes it is lacking, but personally, on the gamecube, I don't see the need (Although it would be a nice perk ). Also, as to the freezing... I have owned 2 gamecubes, and a lot of my friends own gc's as well, and well, the only ones we have ever seen freeze have been the ones which are not treated well. We actually put my friends brand new x-box against my gc in an ironman test, and the gamecube outlasted the x-box by 15 hours before the gc started freezing (The x-box started freezing after 7 hours... we had a gaming weekend lol... gc, ps2, x-box, pc's, etc...).

The biggest problem with the GC is that, while the x-box and ps2 went after the more "mature" audience, the gc went after a younger audience in their games. Because of this, they do not use the full potential of the hardware (Which is evident in RE4 .. the potential that is).

And one last thing to address on the console fanboys issue : http://ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2005-02-05

Anyways, to swing back on topic, the initial thread that was reccommended that you check out is the thing you are after... but to summarize it; unless you have lots of $$$ and Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc... really wants your game, it isn't really feasable because of the amount of manpower and funds required to do such a thing.
