Kids tend towards the GameCube - as it is full of cute kid games like the Mario series.  Xbox seems to appeal more to PC gamers who want a console.  PS2 is good all around.  I have a PS2 and I find that the best variety of games is on the PS2.  Xbox seems too unoriginal and PC like in my opinion.If you like console RPG's by the way - PS2 is the way to go, from FInal Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts, Gauntlet Dark Legacy to Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance it is AMAZING for these.I'm totally hooked on Kingdom Hearts and can't wait to get GTA Vice CIty - which is an RPG/Action game of sorts.Yes, innovative and fun games galore on PS2!--*Rob</blockquote>
