The Dreamcast!
Sega might be stopping production, but this console really is the one to be playing the top games of today.
Crazy Taxi 2 Sonic ADV 2 etc... I havent seen a Playstation 2 title yet that has Surpassed the Visuals of the DC.
This is someone speaking with years of loyalty to Nintendo too, so I would't call it biased.

Spot on except for the fact that the Xbox and the gamecube will have a lot of catching up to do in Europe as sony have this Christmas all to themselves, unles the GBA can steal some thunder, but i very much doubt it!!

As to which console is No1, it depends where you look.

In my house, the DC reigns supreme over the PSX, I've got both, but the DC has taken over as the main console due to the great graphics.

In Japan, the DC outsold the PS2 as soon as the price went down to the equivalent of about £60 over there (lucky them, I got mine full price a couple of weeks before we got wind of the price cut..).

So No1 in terms of sales, but only briefly.

N64 selling at the moment? Don't think so, because the GC is coming out, and most are waiting with great anticipation for it.

Most powerful console is without doubt currently the PS2, but more games are required to fully show off what it really can do.

So for now you've got the PS2 for sheer power, the DC for sales (briefly), probably the PSX for most users, N64 for the most quality games available, so each console in their own right is a No1 in it's own fashion.

In a few months the X-Box and the GC will be vying for number one spot. GC has the edge with it's user base already pretty much determined by existing Nintendo fans, and X-Box has a lot to do to beat that, but Sony did it, so X-Box could too. Should be interesting, considering that I will be getting an X-Box and Grix is getting a Gamecube.

Stay posted for the ensuing rants between us, only on the FOG.
