Console wars...Xbox...Playstation2...Gamecube...everyday when I come to these forums, I have to read what all these people are thinking about each others systems. Since when was the console more important then the game?

Let's think for a minute here:

-Playstation 2
-Very large library
-DVD player already installed
-Graphics that stand up to today's consoles
-A controller that is easy to handle and very comfortable
-Free online play (Unless money is required for online play from the game itself)
-40GB Hard Disk Drive
-Sony has been in the gaming business longer then Microsoft
-Very versatile and backwards compatible (Plays Playstation 1 games)
-Has a video camera compatible with the system (EyeToy)
-DTS Decoder
-2 Controller Ports/ Memory Card Slots
-Harder to make games for because of translation

-Xbox
-Already installed 8GB Hard Disk Drive
-Top of the line online play (when it comes to consoles) (Pay Monthly)
-Benchmark graphics
-733mhz Processor (fastest the console world has ever seen)
-DTS Decoder
-DVD player compatible
-4 Controller Ports/ 8 Memory Card Slots (in the controller)
-Great translation between PC/Xbox games
-Quickly growing library
-A controller that is easy to grip but harder to use compared to the PS2 Controller
-Backed by a very powerful corporation

-GameCube
-Not quite on par with the PS2 graphics
-4 Controller Ports
-An uncomfortable controller to grasp but nonetheless easy to use
-Online support but hard for gaming companies to put it to use
-Uses smaller disk sizes but same capacity
-Compatible with the GameBoy Advanced
-No Internal Storage
-Library filled with more colourful but enjoyable nonetheless

I am not going to make conclusions and say that this system is better then this one or this one sucks and this one rules all. I just want to give you all a good view on what you're saying is better then everything else. Each console has it's own ups and downs so I'll just let you decide that. Thanks for reading!
