know,but I like it alot,'cause it has Mario AND Sonic,and I wish i had one...
But thats more personal preferance. I am talking about the console alone, with its possibilities, and limitations.

I just wish the new sonics where worth getting.. :(
(p.s. what is the guy on your avatar doing?!)
I don't know, but I find it funny. :D

There is no definitive best console. It boils down to personal preference, and when you try to pass your personal preference off as fact, flamewars start and feelings get hurt. That's why these types of threads turn into trainwrecks.

That being said, here are my personal preferences in order of favorite -> least favorite:

Gamecube:
The games are awesome. Metroid Prime, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, Viewtiful Joe, Ikaruga, Animal Crossing, etc. If anyone says "the gamecube is kiddy", I automatically consider thier opinions on all matters to be worthless as they don't know what they're talking about. The Wavebird is the best wireless controller in the history of the universe.

XBox:
The games are getting better- Star Wars: KoTOR, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon: Orta, and Halo are all great titles. Jade Empire, Fable, Halo 2, and Star Wars: KoTOR 2 are coming out in the future, which make the XBox even more desirable. The graphics are arguably the best out of all 3 consoles and 5.1 surround sound support is pure bliss. If there's a multi-platform title that I want, I buy it for the XBox. None of the Live titles really interest me so I didn't consider that to be a reason to buy it.

The main reason I purchased an XBox was for the nifty things you can do with it after you mod it. I use it as a media server now more than a gaming machine, frankly. The ability to stream movies & music to my living room stereo & TV from a computer in the office is priceless. It's basically a PC now. The good games coming out for it are just icing on the cake.

PS2:
I sold my PS2 to buy the XBox. It was alright but none of the games really jumped out and grabbed me. I liked the controller style better than the XBox. If the price ever drops to sub-$100 levels I may pick one up again, if only for Gran Turismo 4 and the Final Fantasy series. And Disgaea. And Playstation 1 game compatability. And Rez.

When looking at what console I prefer, I look at the games I like;

Xbox - Halo, DOA series, V8 Supercars 2, etc.
PS2 - Tekken series (definate favourite), etc.
GameCube - um...

...okay, so maybe I don't know a lot of games,:sorry: but in my ignorance; Xbox is the winner! eh heh...

I like the Gamecube,not 'cause my personalnality,but bcause its so diverse.The 'cube has:Sonic,Zelda,Mario,Metroid,Super smash bros.,Poke'mon,did I mention Sonic?Its sonic's need work on how to make them even better,because the control style is a little weak.Sonic heroes is okay,but not a real fan of the whole"team"idea.I like the ones on the GBA better,if only they were still that good and in 3-D.......oh yeah!And ONE good Yu-Gi-Oh! game.

pc p0w3ns everything, no doubt. but this is for consols ;)
lol have to agree, although I really enjoy my XBox. The main reason I bought a console is because I was tired (too broke) to keep upgrading my PC, plus I like being able to kick back in my recliner and play. The reason I chose XBox was because of Fable.

As far as the thread question, I would have chosen PS2 because of the game selection but I don't know many people who own consoles where I live but I looked at some of the games and decided on XBox. I can't comment on GC as I've never played one.
