PS2 vs. Xbox vs. Gamecube

Last year I was living with my roomates. I have a XBox, one had a PS2, and one had a Gamecube.

After beating Zelda Gamecube got put away and never touched again.

After beating GTA3: Vice City and Final Fantasy 10, PS2 only got touched to play GT3 (which is a lot of fun btw, though hard as hell@!!).

XBox got played all the time.

Gamecube is like Dreamcast, it's inexpensive enough that every man woman and child should have one. We should drop Gamecubes on developing nations and senior citizens.

It's cool, even without electricity.

Here's what I always tell people:

Gamecube: More child friendly than the others. Most games are higher quality titles that can't be played on any other platform, but there are fewer games to choose from.

PS2- Marketed to the teen/adult. Lots of titles, but it's starting to show its age. Usually the first console the new hot titles go to.

XBox- Also marketed to teen/adults. Not as many titles and many of it's games are not very good. Most innovative design however. I don't think it's matured yet with all it can do, so it's probably still up and coming.

Then I let them make their choice. I personally went for the GC because my kids love the Mario titles.
