With regards to the X-Box, it's highly unlikely the drive will need defragging. The X-Box OS is based on Win 2k, and Win 2K (and XP too) automatically defrags your drive during normal disc access - that's one of the great things about NTFS (which Win2K uses) over FAT 32.
Now the PS2 is based on Linux, which also does not suffer from the same frag problems that Win 98 suffered from.
To summarise, by virtue of the OS's both PS2 and X-Box use, fragmentation of the HD is really a non-issue.
