Going by the rate of PS2 sales (even though its still more expensive in parts of the world - like the UK), not producing content for XBox or GC wont make much difference. If the market shares were equal, things would be different, but since PS2 soaks up so much of the market anyway, developers wont loose much by not producing for Xbox or GC.
As for Project Gothama and GT, there is a point that GT can get very boring on some of the long races and challenges. This is not so much an XBox Vs PS2 issue, but one type of car racer against another. Project Gotham is more Arcade, while GT is more life like (with the exception of lack of visible body damage - but thats the fault of the car manufacturers, not Sony or the PS2).

Exactly. Although I liked NFS on it. My road rash was too scratched to play. The controller was terrible, like a big CDi pad!

3DO? the only good thing about that was road rash, with all those wicked cut scenes.

Oops, too late!

I like Bond games! Even the not so good ones.
It's a shame that EA are not going to support Live. But it is their loss.
