I have all 3 hmmm what to choose, probably ps2 for the titles, as for graphics xbox (especially for racing games) as for gamecube, not to burst your bubble bandit2002 but i refer to my gc as the most expensive doorstop i ever bought since dreamcast, but it has its good side ie. smash bro's melee,starfox adventures and ofcorse mario sunshine they may "look" stupid but there going to be classics, so i think whatever fits your preferances

(great titles) = Ps2

(Graphic quality) = Xbox

(game quality) = Game cube

Simple as that.
the PS2 has the most titles ad has good ones by sheer numbers.
the GC has the best graphics(I'm sorry but a pentuim III vs the Gecko, gecko wins becuase of the quiality of the poly's and it's graphics specific features. Mhz!=good graphics) and the best games, just not as many.

the X-Box is just a giant piece of crap produced by miscrosh^t and fueled by their simple money. Besides, any bastereds who would steal bungie from the Macs that they started from doesn't deserve the breath required to actually rant about them. But I'm generous.

I just traded my X-Box for a PS2. I loved Project Gotham Racing; the closest thing to 1:1 R/C!

I play first person shooters on my PC, if I didn't I would have kept the Xbox. Now I have a few racing games and all my old PS1 titles will come out of the garage.

They both have their merits. For those who rip on the X-Box for graphics haven't played a quality game on it (think Abe's World, Mechassault or PJR). Halo was iffy, but the environment was huge, and I know no console could do that better.

I have played all three and the only reason to get a Gamecube is if you like the Mario games (I do, but not enough to buy the GC, I can get GBA and be happy with arcade graphics), or if you want a console that has mostly G or PG games.

Try gran turismo 3 and grand theft auto vice city. Both of those games are great.

If you ask me Playstation 2 sucks. If my parents would let me, and my brother, I would trade it in for an x-box anyday. I have way to many problems with my ps2. It skips. It lags. It doesnt start up without going to the Disc Read Error page. Thats just my 2 Cents.

PS2 only for the GTA series. XBOX for everything else.

And what is everyones deal with Microsoft? Aside from Apple fans, there is nothing to hate Microsoft for. Sure, they bought out smaller businesses and formed a monopoly, but I personally don't care. I live off of Windows, and personally, I see XP Pro as much better than OS 10.2 Jaguar. It's faster, has more programs available than any other OS (by far, we're talking 100:1 here), and I find it to be a bit more new-user friendly. Compared to OS 9, much more user friendly (Remember having to drag the CD icon to the trash to eject it? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.), and much more of a gamer OS. The only thing better about OS 10 are the pulsating blue buttons. And those use too much graphics memory. Not to mention the new iMac looks like a lamp.

A lot of people argue that Microsoft smothers their competition and such, and to that I won't disagree. Then again, isn't this the same thing that oil companies did to railroad companies here in California several decades ago? It's the same thing. Whoever has the most money and resourced wins. If Apple had the money in the beginning, they'd be the prime OS manufacturer today. They didn't. They never will. End of story.

And now, I'd like to introduce some nice goodies from my website. After opening an Apple ad I found, I proceeded to write this little article in defense of Microsoft:

"Meet the dock. Place it at the bottom or side of your screen and you have an instant visual shortcut to the things you use most. Just drag and drop your favorite icons onto the Dock to customize it for the way you work. There's nothing like it on PC's." -- Okay, Steve-o, you obviously haven't been looking at any version of Windows from 98+. Take a look at that nice little button that says "Start." Now look to the right. You see those icons? THOSE ARE WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL SHORTCUTS, AND YOU STOLE THAT IDEA TO CREATE THE DOCK! Don't tell me "there's nothing like it on PC's!" It's the exact same thing, except Windows 98 came out BEFORE OSX. JobsLiarScore: 9

"Myth 1: Everyone uses Windows. Fact: ...Or in education, where half of the computers are Apples...25 million people use Macs..." -- This is where LAUSD annoys me the most. They have, over the years, bought Macs, time after time. And time after time, they remain unused, because few teachers or students use Macs at home. And also, those 25 million people that use Macs make up all of five percent of computer users, and that number keeps dropping, ensuring that when schools buy Macs, they will remain unused. JobsLiarScore: Here, Mr. Jobs didn't really lie. He did, however, conveniently forget to mention that Apple's market share is dropping quickly, and also neglected to mention that schools are now reevaluating their computer purchases; more and more PC's are being used at schools instead.

"Myth 3: The software I need isn't available for Macs. Fact: There are over 15,000 applications available for the Mac, in every category imaginable." -- Steve-o, Steve-o, Steve-o...have you ever played a computer "game?" The truth of the matter is, less than a quarter of games released for Windows never make it to the Mac platform. JobsLiarScore: 6"

And now, having flown WAYYYY off topic, I'll say this: Dreamcast owns you. :)

Xbox is best for graphics, i did my gr. 8 speech on all three of these systems. PS2 was best for games b/c it has been out longer, gc was the smallest, and xbox had the best graphics. And i will pull out my speech for the stats, if any of you people aren't convinced.
Why spend your money on game consoles when you can gat an awsome computer, buy the est games, and spend the rest of your little money on rc.
