Further, if you like console RPGs, then the PS2 is the clear winner. (And, IMNSHO, the Dual Shock is by far the superior controller of the bunch.)And rightfully so. (Though it has improved moderately with a few non-kiddie games in recent times - Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos are 2 decent RPGs, for example. I'd add Resident Evil 4 to the list, but that's coming out for the PS2 and thus you'll be able to avoid playing that game with the wretched wretched wretched Gamecube controller.)Hmmm... with that said, I'm not sure if the Xbox would be a better choice than the PS2, then - depending on your personal game preferences, of course.(Note that I own all 3, so I'm not [entirely] talking out of my ass, here.) My advice in choosing a console (if you can only choose one) are twofold:1) As Planesdragon said above, look for exclusive titles that you'd like. The console with the highest number wins!2) Look carefully at the available controllers. Since they're pretty much your sole interface with most games (DDR and a few weird games notwithstanding), it is in your best interest to find the one that you like the best.These are what I always use to evaluate what my favorite console is (since I buy them all) or which console to purchase first. Currently it's the PS2 by a long shot, since I enjoy RPGs and find the Dual Shock controller smacks everything else for the other systems (though the smaller Xbox controller - not the original cheesburger - is decent).</blockquote>
