okay, I have something I would like to say...PS2 is the best console system out there currently, but I have my eyes on the PS3 (or whatever they're going to call it).
The Xbox has dissapointed me greatly, I was going to get it after halo came out, but then I realized how much the other games on it sucked, and that you couldn't really play against many people, because it didn't have internet connection. The only game on the Xbox that is (or was) good is (was) Halo, but even that was a dissapointment.
Gamecube on the other hand, is a very good system, it has good games, all around age targeting, and good graphics.
BUT I am still going with the PS2, because it has good graphics (thought not as good as it's competitors, the PlayStation 3 will be another subject though) and MANY GREAT games. PLAYSTATION 2 IS STILL THE GREATEST, AND WILL BE FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS(TILL PLAYSTATION 3 THAT IS).PERIOD.THAT'S THE END!
