lets end this last gen battle, which console was the best.

PS2, hands down all I got to say is MGS 3(cuz the gamecude got a remake of MGS1 and the xbox got a port of MGS2), Kingdom hearts 1&2 andGod of War 1&2. the PS2 was a great console and is said to be the best console of all time but which do u think is best

no contest. PS2 had every genre covered and then some. GC was worst than N64 and XBox only had custom soundtrack.

I'd say xbox, a MUCH needed step forward in controller ergonomics, console graphics, online and hardware

GC for me for Metroid Prime alone, PS2 had alot of great games, but IMO it didn't have any of the best games of the gen except RE4, but the GC had the better version.

xbox

the graphics were better, it popularized online play for consoles and had a lot of hidden gems. Ps2 and gamecube were good also, pretty much last gen was awesome for consoles and you really couldnt go wrong with any of them

PS2 gave me MGS, DMC3 and GoW. Although Gamecube gave me WW, MP and SSBM. I never liked the original Xbox, so for me that comes in last for last gen.

Hardware or software? Hardware, Xbox wins as the PS2 was a pile of junk. Software the PS2 win easily though, it simply had more games to choose from, although the grafix on multiplats were inferior on the PS2.

Ps2 and Gamecube were great. Xbox, not so much... Probably had less than 10 interesting exclusives.

That's honestly hard to say for me. PS2, probably. GC is very close behind it.

Just like this gen, and every gen before and to come...THEY were ALL good. I bought all 3 last gen at launch. I have over 100 games for each still to this day. They all have goods and bads. No different from any other gen.

I also was an early adaptor of LIVE when it came out and played Return To Castle Wolfenstien online all the time. I also got HALO before the Xbox even came out...Great times...PS2 got my attention with games like SSX/Tricky,SOCOM,Unreal Tournament, Quake Arena. While GC got my time with games like Mario Sunshine, Metroid, Zelda, Star Wars, ect...

I cant vote on which is better for any gen as I love games. NOW voting for worst controller ever..That I can do. N64,GC,DC win that award..

in all honesty all consoles were pretty much tied for me last gen,

I loved my gamecube with SUper Mario Sunshine Metroid Prime and Melee just as much as I loved my PS2 with Ratchet and Clank okami and Sotc, just as much as I loved my Xbox with Halo Mechassault and Jet Set Radio Future

I voted PS2 but I got an Xbox and played that more tbh - but PS2 had some incredible games on it and it'll have a huge legacy (as I'm sure Xbox will too) Xbox did introduce me to online gaming as I know and love it though.

The gamecube and the PS2 were fairly neck and neck in terms of quality, but the Xbox was late to the party and had much fewer notible exclusives

It had some of my favorites too, but they were to far and few between. Kind've like the Wii.

Xbox original controller was horrible. But the console and everything else was great. Not enough games though on Xbox. A handful of great ones and overall the Xbox wasn't supported long by MS. Realistically they stopped supporting Xbox a year before even 360 released

Yeah, the initial "Duke" was horrible, but the later model was great. And still, the games it did have were as a matter of fact, pretty darn good, like Ninja Gaiden, Halo CE and Conker Live and reloaded

The PS2 was one of the best systems ever.

...Which is why the PS3 is such an embarrassing disappointment.

Ninja Gaiden and Project Gotham alone made the Xbox worth it to me :) just wasn't my #1 last gen

I never really liked the ps2 as much as everyone else did. Great system, but idk I never really got into the games it had. I loved the gamecube exclusives sooo much though. I just thought they were more fun to play. And it had my favorite controller. And the original zbox had brilliant hardware, great controller for shooters, built in HDD and online set up.. but seriously it was a halo player, I really wasn't a fan of anything else it offered.. waaay too lacking in software.

This belongs in Legacy Platforms under the new rules. They moved that board right next to System Wars on the forum index so people wouldn't make theses threads here. And it's obviously the PS2.

Last gen, the Xbox was my favorite, followed by the Gamecube, and the PS2 was last.

This gen the PS3 is my favorite, followed by the Wii, and the 360 is last.

On a personal level I'd say Gamecube. It has so many of my favorite games, all first-party exclusives. PS2 is a close second, though.

PS2 is, IMO, tied with the SNES as the best systems ever made. Last gen I loved the GC, especially the exclusives... which seemed to look better than all the multiplats. But, once again the big N had little 3rd party support. I never had the XBOX because the controllers where unbelievably horrible... I played Halo/Halo 2 on my friend's from time to time, and enjoyed them but not enough to buy them.

well obhiously the PS2 won last gen. better sales..better third party support and loads of great games. but ive always had a soft spot for the GC. it got me back into console gaming after about 4 years of playing on the PC only (though PC remains my fav platform). as a piece of technology...it was a little miracle. it was cheap to make and yet very reliable. it could also, on a good day, give the xbox a run for its money. and it was the last proper games console ever made (what we have now are a multimedia center, a PC wannabe and an information center...though they also play games of course). everything from the disc drive to the GPU was built with one thing and only one thing in mind....making the best device for playing games (within a certain budget of course). i also preferred the controller. it looks like it was designed by a crazy person but it was very comfy and the button layout actually did make sense when playing games. i just wish it had a 4th shoulder button and the sticks werent clickable. the games on it were also brilliant. MP1 is a classic right up there with OOT and mario 64 and 2 was also brilliant. WW was smashing, smashbros melee was excellent and sunshine, though not the pinnacle of mario platformers by a long stretch, was still a dam fine game in its own right. its just a shame 3rd parties didnt stick with it and unfortunately ninty were the GCs worst enemy. their promotion...when they did some promoting....was absolutely pathetic and off putting.

Nothing could top the PS2 and it's strong library of exclusive games.

Jak and Daxter, Jak 2, Jak 3, Sly Cooper, Sly 2, Sly 3, Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Downhill Domination, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss, Bully, Naruto Ultimate Ninja (series 1-4), Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist, FMA 2, God of War andGod of War 2.

Gamecube comes in second and Xbox in third.

The Gamecube had Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Brother's Melee and Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia is one of the greatest games of all time and Melee is a classic.

All the Xbox had was Halo, Halo 2, Fable and....Jade Empire.

Definitely XBOX for me.

And it wasn't Live that sold me (and I still don't have Live).

It was:

  1. 8GB HDD
  2. Halo
  3. Games & Genres it focused on
  4. 4 controller ports
  5. break away cords
  6. custom soundtrack ripper
  7. DVD player (despite a remote dongle needed)
  8. S-controllers

Gamecube for me.... The PS2 had better variety in games and the GTA San Andreas so it comes in second. I'm not a big fan of the original Xbox:(

The GC is very underrated. But the PS2 is godly.

However...the GCN got some of the best games of last gen...it just didn't get a lot.

My preference: Gamecube > PS2 > Xbawx

or it can be argued that PS2 > Gamecube > Xbox

But that's just me.
