Better graphics, better load time, built-in save functionality, sound customizations support and (after the S-Type controller) similar controls/gameplay to the competition = better console.
Of course, the Xbox being the superior console is hardly a surprise given the difference in release dates. It'd be hard to NOT have a better console in those circumstances. Hence the apples to oranges comparison, they're not really in the same generation. |

xbox == better technological console but better technology with a poor game selection does not a better gameplay experience make.

There weren't any ground-breaking PS2-only titles that fit into the "must have" category that defined something in the genre.
Given the lack of any clearly superior titles (the Nintendo Gamecube could at least claim it had much better "party" games), Xbox wins. |

XBox had no appeal to me. Its an overpriced piece of shit. If I'm gonna pay that much for a game console, I'll just upgrade my computer since the game will eventually be released for the PC at a cheaper price. I can't think of many games that were released with good storylines, developed characters, and good gameplay for the console.
I'm excited about the Nintendo Revolution too. They may not have the best graphics, but damn if the games aren't fun and playable with more than one person. The fact I'll be able to download older games from past consoles onto this one is really exciting. My main quip with the xbox: you've gotta have 88 fingers to control the damn thing. That and Microsoft made it. I don't want to be stuck playing games that need a keyboard/mouse combo to move efficiently on a shitty controller. Again, give me a PC for that already.
