Please stop with all of the remakes of retarded threads. If you want to know people's ideas, then look at the old ones, besides, why are you doing 2nd gen?
Probably, there have been a lot of these "Which is better..." thread. More than likely it'll end up like the "Rate the Above..." threads.
On topic, I personally think the Gamecube was a fail console and out of the 3, the Play Station 2 was pretty good, but the Xbox gets my vote because of Halo!
I'd say that there will be an ever-tie between PlayStation systems and Xbox Systems. They're just too similar.
Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, LittleBigPlanet? Excellent PS exclusives.
Halo, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Fable? Excellent XB exclusives.
It is safe to say that Nintendo should stick to little monsters inside of portable round cases. (oh yea, and a remake of the Johto region is being made! It should release sometime next year or in december!)
I'd have to say that the PS2 was one of the better consoles. Although I've always been strictly Nintendo fan, because I love the work that is put into the Nintendo Consoles, PS2 had brilliant graphics, had brilliant games, such as Tekken, Dot Hack, Kingdom Hearts, and Time Splitters.
