I'm no system fanboy, I've got almost every system from the current & past 3 generations, including a modded xbox and most of the popular games.
But seriously, unless all you mostly want to play is Halo + Halo 2, there is little reason to buy an xbox over a ps2 or gamecube. FPS's are still the only genre that has stronger representation on the xbox than on other systems. Fighting Games? VF4 > Doa3, while soul calibur II is mostly the same across all 3 systems. Sports Games? EA owns the genre, and isn't online on xbox. Ditto for tony hawk. Driving Games? MotoGP is pretty good, but it's no Gran turismo, and GT4 will be online as well. Puzzle / party games? Nothing can touch super monkey ball. RPGs? Fable is pretty much the xbox's only hope, and may very well be vapor.
