PS2
+Good graphics
+PSX influence/backwards compatible
+DVD
-Hell to develop for
-slower than the rest
-endless sequels
-Very expensive
X-Box
+Excellent grpahics
+Supposedly Dreamcast games (Sega are making gams for GameCube as well! HA!)
+Microsofts money
-Long way off
-Slower than modern day PC's (So are the others, but this just plays the same games)
-No originality from Microsoft games (AOE3 etc)
?Microsoft have never made a console before?
I think GameCube is the best due to good graphics, fantastic games and a lot of Nintendo magic. PS2 lacks that touch that all Nintendo games have. X-Box. Just upgrade your PC.

Games as ever will be a big factor as they were in the days of the Playstation and Nintendo 64....NOW! But I am talking more about within the first year of release! I think that at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the U.S San Francisco event in May, quite a lot will be revealed about the future of all the companies and their consoles, hopefully we will see some of the arsenal from all sides of the globe which, in the words of J.R, will set the mood for quite a slobber-knocker.
I think this battle, as in most cases, is going to be won with game support... and Sega has already pledged that it will support Nintendo a great deal more than the rest of them. And Nintendo already have their own line up, and some great third party/second party stuff coming too.
Why?
I suppose it's down to better marketing, better online facilities, DVD, more power, companies like Capcom, Sega and Konami will find it easy to make great games.
WE know that Nintendo make the best games and that the Gamecube will be the BEST console out there but the AVERAGE person won't know that and they'll go for the multimedia system.
Either way, the PS2 WILL fall flat on it's face.
Nuff said!
