I know I'm a bit late on this stuff but I hadn't played the X-Box ever until recently. Really I think it breaks down like this... PS2 while not having the absolute best graphics(space invaders and pacman are still fun...) has the widest library of titles made directly for it and the most extras. Think about it, RE4 you get a chainsaw, SoulCalbur II you get Spawn, and there are just countless other extras in the shpeal (mostly from capcom).
Anyways up next is Gamecube. Yes it's purple, but at least it is affordable, has a good library of super fun games including lots of "non-kiddy" ones. Resident Evil 4 (and the RE1 remake), Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes(MGS remake), Eternal Darkness, Pikmin (well okay I guess it's kiddy but shit thats a violent game in it's own right). Anyways you get my point, and also it has Super Smash Bros. Melee, best fighting/platformer hybrid ever.
Now onto the X-Bawks. I dont have anything against Microsoft or even the system itself. This system like the 2 new handhelds have great potential but just doesn't seem to have gone the distance to use it for more then pretty graphics. Let me break it down for you. The controller blows ass. Even the remake of it. Why do I need a giant non-functioning green X-Bawks button in the middle? Would have been better to put a start/select button pair there. Also all of the ports to this system are awful (San Andreas on PS2 is much easier to control... other then that nothing much, the remake of Sons of Liberty on this was fairly clunky also but it did have some extras which made up for it kind of). About the only redeeming quality of the X-Bawks is it's good online capability, shooting games (halo and halo2), sports games, and ability to put in your own soundtrack. The hard drive seems a bit unnecesary to me, though. I think 1 gig would be fine, who the hell needs 5? Buy a memory card, stupid, a 5 gig HD makes the x-box big and fat and retarded.
Well... anyways, lets get some input here; Also on the next generation systems. I'll probably get the Revolution so I can throw out my N64, NES, SNES, and Gamecube and have it all in one teeny weeny silver box. Plus it's planned to sell at less then 200 USD so that makes my wallet happy
