Everybody knows that in today's consoles there are three main consoles- Xbox, PS2, and GameCube. Which is the best though? There has been alot of controversy over which is "the one". Many think GameCube is the best because it is cheapest and it was cleverly designed. Others prefer PS2 because of its all around great qualities. Xbox is a favorite of many because of its excellent graphics and unique shape. I can't give you the exact prices, but I know that Xbox is most expensive, PS2 is slighty cheaper, and GameCube is the cheapest of the bunch. The popularity of the games varies from place to place, but I think PS2 is most popular and Xbox is least popular just because of its price. But there is also the conflict that Microsoft was making too big controllers. I thought the controllers were just the right size and were comfortable, but I have to remember, I'm 18. My final vote was with PS2. Which of "The Big Three" is favored most across the globe? The world may never know.

I had my brother take an vote at his junior high school and out of 394 people only 63 had bought an Xbox. It really has been a flop nationwide here in the US.

Sales point to the PS2 being the most popular. It is still oustselling Gamecube + X-box by miles.

X-box has been a flop in the US and Japan. They really gonna have cut the price soon...especially with the cheaper Gamecube coming out here in less than 4 weeks. Although this may lead to
to the people who bought it a full price at launch to become rather annoyed...
