This was by no means easy. I really wanted to go for PS2, especially with the backwards compatability (well, for games anyway :rolleyes2) but Gamecube just clinches it for me personally. Easier to transport as well.

The horror!! *loves zelda*

Widest amount of games? That goes to Ps2...its gotta little bit of everything

My favorite would be gamecube though...for every original product they have the makers go all out with the most crucial detail...its amazing

Most popular right now is *shudders* X box though...*sigh*

Well, this is kind of hard. In fact, I won't vote. I'll just provide some opinions and facts. First off, the Gamecube could indeed have had the best graphics out of all three, as it devotes itself mostly to gaming. But, using those midget disks is kinda a bummer on the graphics. The X-Box has the best graphics now, since it has a harddrive to kinda handle some of it. Also, you can save on the harddrive, and get mods for it to turn your X-Box into a media center. And, the PS2...well, if you have a fat one with a hard drive, I think you can get mods as well. ANd not just a region-decoder crap. SO, there's what I think are advantages to the systems. I have a PS2 and a Gamecube, since I like to play online with my PS2, and play some awesome first-party games on the Gamecube.

I was once Nintendo loyal but Square turned me to the dark side. Actually, Microsoft is probably the dark side, so Square turned me to the neutral side.

To me it all boils down to the games.
Graphics dont really matter
And PS2 definatly have the best choice

Which consol is the best?

Overall, ps2. While xbox has better graphics, it has fewer good games.

Which consol has the best games?
PS2 has a greater variety of games good games, largely due to simply having more developers on board. Ps2 has Rachet & Clank, JAk & Daxter, Suikoden, FF, and GTA. None of those would be hands down better any other game ever made, but taken as a whole I can get 4-5 excellent ps2 games at any time.

Xbox has a few games that have been extremely good -- Ninja Gaiden, Halo (1 & 2), and a few others along those lines. There aren't a lot of them, but those few there are close to perfection (KOTOR, Halo (1&2), Splinter Cell, etc).

Eveen though the "great games" of Xbox are marginally better than the games available on ps2, I'd give the catagory to the ps2, because there are simply more great games for ps2 than for xbox.



Which consol has the widest range of games?

Well including the backward compatability, this definately goes to the ps2. You can play any game from ps1 with the ps2, plus all the great stuff on ps2.


Which consol is the best?

Graphically, I'd give a slight nod to xbox. The games look far better on the xbox, especially ports.


Most Original Lineup

I have to give a bit of credit to Game Cube for having more original concepts for their games. Donkey Kong platformers controled by bongo drums is original. Pikmin is pretty original. Wario Ware is about as original as they come.

i had so many problems with my ps2, i sold it and bought an xbox, havent had any problems with it, so i voted for xbox. Ive never played a GC so i had nothing to base a vote for that on.
