Graphics-wise, yeah. Gamecube is better and will probably remain better than the ps2. But then again it also had a lot more deveopement time than the ps2 and was released later so if the graphics weren't better then I would have been upset.

PS2 wins on developer support though. It can be argued that ps2 does have volume but not quality... but either way, there are tons of ps2 games and something for everyone. The only step up nintendo has in the developer area is themselves, and all of their exclusive game licenses.

I think the gamecube is also being marketed more effectively as a 'party' machine that is easy to take places, easy to hook up and has great multiplayer games. PS2 has some decent ones, but that whole 2 control port idea... sony missed the mark by not putting in 4.

Anyways, I guesss what I am trying to say is the GC is better depending how you look at it. I love adult oriented games and all the GC can offer me now is eternal darkness... so I would buy a ps2 or a box long before i buy a cube on that level. But if I all of the sudden decided I need some mario in my life, there is no other option: I have to have a gamecube.
