Each console is fairly evenly matched, but that really doens`t matter, its the games that count. A "best" console is the one with either the most popular or the most impressive games.
In the popularity chart, PS2 is far superior thanks to a huge number of sales, and as Digitiser put it, the fact that "PS2 continues to give its rivals a daily kick in the butt".
As for the "most impressive games" they all have their strong points.
X-Box has Halo, PS2 has GTA, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear and a million others (no bias, honest), and Gamecube has... erm, well, ask a Nintendo owner, they`ll think of something I`m sure.
Anyway, one persons best console is another persons erm, worst console :D If you can`t live without GTA, go for PS2, its the best for you. If you love Mario (in whichever way) then go for the Gamecube, etc...
Facile non?
