i get this question all day...i work in a videogame store...xbox and ps2 are both around the same levels...if any id rate the ngc the lowest due to the lack of games and shitty controller design...
pros for the xbox are: the hardware itself, 8gig hd, online play, 4 controller slots, good system link...cons: bulk, no out of box dvd playback, first gen controller, xbox live, advanced av pack...heres for ps2...pros: out of box dvd playback, optical outlet, selection of games, great controller...cons: no harddrive, no modem, even shittier online than xbox, 2 controller ports, who uses the firewire anyways?, hardware is a little lacking now...gc pros: hardware, 4 controller ports,ergonomic controller and wavebird, nintendo, gba linkup, good games are GOOD, cheapest...cons: lack of games, controller sucks balls for fighting games,no modem (only like 1 online game anyways),no dvd playback, did i mention lack of software?...
first gen xbox's did have problems...but so did ps2...so who cares? if a game comes out for every system...i buy it for xbox just because the hardware is just simply better...so it performs better...every system also has their own games that arent coming out for any other system...fuck it...just get all the systems...you wont have to deal with this question.
p.s. pirating video games sucks you cheap bastards
