It's Ironic that the new X-box is basically a more powerful gamecube 
Right now the gamecube uses a PowerPC processor and an ATI graphics chip and the X-box uses a Pentium III and an Nvidia graphics chip. The new X-box will have a PowerPC processor and an ATI graphics chip. Wonder how long it will be until someone makes a gamecube emulator for the new x-box since they will be so close in hardware. I personally think sony makes the worst hardware out of the 3. It's always been underpowered, even the original PSX was a clunky slow machine. I just didn't like it.

XBOX has a mostly similar catalogue of titles to PS2, obviously less, and its own exclusives like Halo and Project Gotham Racing. GameCube has less games than both, but because Nintendo has a productive in-house teams you get a lot more exclusives, from Zelda to Metroid Prime. In the end you can't go wrong with any of them.
Having said that, I only own a PS2 (with a mind to get an XBOX for Halo 2
so I voted that way

PS2 = Largest game collection as it plays PS1 cds also and has built in DVD player. No built in Harddrive or modem.
XBOX = Pwns ps2's graphics quite abit, some tittles look exactly the same on both PS2 and XBOX, others have huge differences, No built in DVD player, needs a controler. Option to install a bigger hard drive, run apps on it. There is a sorta hakced program made for running stufff on your XBOX and you can install windows on it. You can play some games with your music since you can record music into it, WMP anyone ?
GameCube = Mostly kid games. Brilliant graphics. But by being creative and trying to stop product piracy they are at a loss since theyre optical discs only hold 1 gb i believe it isl. No audio cd, no dvd. Not many titles AT ALL.
Dreamcast = Good idea, wrong execution. Besides it, anything sega should go to hell.
PC = PWNS All 3 consoles since we can upgrade , Theyre is a console in the works that is going to play PC games but I see alot of problems with its development since some old games dont run properly on high processors, most new games have very high requirements. I also see a very big price tag. Do a google search for Discovery Console to check it out, I lost the url 
oops.

You make a good point here about piracy, but I think its a sad state of play when a console with such quality titles (if they were aimed at 'kids', the games would not receive critical acclaim) is labelled as 'one for the kids'. I would add that many of the games are developed for children, but that doesn't make them in any way unsuitable for 'grown ups'.

Yeah it plays DVD's.....when you go buy the Remote Control which costs $35 USD here in Puerto Rico. So it is a DVD player but the DVD features arent built in. Also about the GC. Yes the games are suitable for adults, some are very fun and addictive but, Im into Fisrt Person Shooters. The few GC titles that are FPS dont feature realistic weapons or they do but I dont like them, James Bond anyone?
True, there are very few FPS's on GC, only one i can think of is Metroid Prime (sure there are things like TimeSplitters 2 I think, but they are thin on the ground). I don't really care for FPS games on consoles though, I really can't stand the control pads for them, though I make exceptions for the exceptional ones .
.Metroid Prime has sweet graphics for the GC....and plus the game is fun as
Theres no way i'd give up my keyboard and mouse for a PS2 Controller, although using a simple controll is easier because it's right there in the palms of your hands....i'd prefer an xbox one though instead of PS.

i have a cube, ps2 and xbox, and i have to say that at the moment xbox have the market basically to themselves, when a multi-format game comes out and i have the choice of which console to buy it on (e.g. Burnout 3) i always pick xbox because i know that the graphics will be better and you can put your own custom soundtrancks onto your games, xbox rules!!
