I think it's a tie. X-Box is kinda weak because it uses computer memory. It shouldn't be considered as a console

The Gamecube uses computer memory as well. As does the PS2, the Dreamcast, the Playstation, the N64, the Saturn, the Master System, the NES, the Spectrum... you see where this is going? They all use computer memory.

Otherwise they could simply not run anything, they wouldn't do anything.

Maybe I'm still a PC gamer at heart then.

Of course you realise that by the N64 using RAMBUS memory like the original Pentium 4's, it was never a console either then!

Which makes the Dreamcast the greatest console of all time!

by 'weak' computer memory, would I be right in assuming you mean it uses a hard drive (which has nothing whatsoever to do with memory)?

if so, that 'weak' hard drive allows you to play, and save progress on, much bigger games, that you couldn't possibly play on the GC or PS2, such as Morrowind (urgh) or KOTOR (whoo-hoo!).

Technically it doesn't, but essentially it is a form of memory storage.
