my take on it

PS2 - For being in/near the 3 year old stage I have to admit its still the number 1 system. Its going to have an online commincator just like xbox (so i dont get whats so big about xbox). It already has the up in games especially good ones. It has the 5 biggest games that one could play over and over in GTA3, GT3, FFX, MGS:2, and of course Twisted Metal: Black, just to name a few.

The graphics are still at the same level of comparision to the other 2 systems and this is amazing considering its/near 3 years old.

The line up for games is going to even better especially since the internet gaming is available in just over a weeks time. And FFXI is going to be the game of all games, and person interested in FF will own this game and play it for years or at least until the next one. This is only one, image socom, twisted metal online and madden 2003, Tony Hawk 3, and thats just on relase day.

Gamecube - Agreed they have a younger factor still set in from there success with pokemon back with the 64. Although they are making a step in the right direction with resident evil. If Game cub turns around and realizes that although they can survive with Mario related games, to stay in second ahead of xbox, they need more games like Metriod.

Xbox - The best system to date for its hardware, no doubt about it, but still needs a game that will push it into second place. It has nothing to offer the market that Sony or Gamecube can't do either. One or the other that is. The games thus far although look great, have a serious glitch or lagg factor, or i have played the game before in one way or another on the PC or Playstation. What this system needs is THE GAME OF ALL GAMES to pull it out of the basement. A online version of something like FFXI where thousands of people can play that is unique and grabs peoples attention is what will do it.

Xbox needs a big jump come christmas, and until 2005 roles around I'm affraid that xbox will do nothing more then over take gamecube for second place. Until they can capture the hearts of Europe, Playstation will still lead the battle. And everyone know europe is still lacking broadband, so no internet gaming on xbox for them.

So yes, PS2 is still the better system to this date, and if you can honestly tell yourself that PS2 has crappy games or a bad system then you really need to repeat that to yourself in the mirror. That way you have to lie to yourself and if you can still hold your head up, then all the power to you.

I will say this though, by 2005 xbox, if it gets a push, will be a head of PS2. No question about it.

Oh wait though, PS3 will be out by then.
