If playstation 2 didn\'t exist, I would go for XBOX too. Looks, it\'s more powerful than NGC and ps2, built in hard-drive which obviously can eliminate load time and 4 controller ports which ps2 only have 2 and the same price tag of ps2 ($300). NGC isn\'t really that powerful when compare to XBOX, which have a year and a half longer than ps2 to built.
But beside graphics, the games look very promising too. DOA 3, Oddworld, Halo...
