I have the PS2 an GC but don't have an Xbox. I feel that most games are ported to different consoles and not many games are out. Prove me wrong enough to persuade my Dad to get it for my birthday.

its probably been the plan all along. like i said there is a lot of future money to be made, Sony and Nintendo by selling consoles at a loss played into MS's hands, because MS can't get into anti-competitive legal problems if its competitiors started the 'loss selling' tactics
its all a rich tapestry

Nah, a PS2 doesn't have a real operating system.
does that make ps2 a mac too? or is the mac a ps2 because sony are just too 'all powerful'. or is sony just a front for microsoft to eat nintendo?

Exactly. They're going to all be available at some point for the PC, and almost everyone has a PC. So that's a good reason NOT to fork out for an Xbox.

Yes, this is true, and I have to agree, but firstly, this is because Microsoft need to do something drastic to get some support and some backup in the console market. Nintendo know that a fault could cost them a lot, so they're simply waiting for the Xbox to test on whether consumers actually want to play online or not.
And anyway, the GameCube is online, just not with as many titles or users as Xbox. Sony have yet to start their online adventure, which surprises me. Maybe Nintendo aren't the only ones having doubts...
