The PC game market is vastly different than the console market and its hard to compare the two.There are some good PS2 games, but more and more all the formerly PS2 only games are coming out for the X-box. There was a time when by buying an X-box meant you were losing access to games like Vice City, Metal Gear Solid, Tenchu, etc.But that is no longer the case. All of these former PS2 exclusives are making their way to the X-box. And the X-box version is generally superior to the PS2 version.There are also console (not counting the PC) exclusives like Morrowind and KOTOR. And future console exclusives like KOTOR 2 and Jade Empire, Halo, Doom 3, etc. These games will never come out for the PS2 or GC.Yes, the PS2 has a ton more games. But all the best PS2 games are making their way to the X-box. The PS2 also has a ton of bad games. To be sure there are some stinkers on the X-box, but generally less than the PS2.Basically, unless you literally plan on buying a lot of games, the vast library of the PS2 doesn't really mean anything. Yes, the PS2 does have a ton of RPGs but how many of those are really good? Final Fantasy? Bah! Square is a frustrated movie maker and the Final Fantasy series is garbage IMO. They have devolved into nothing more than CG cutscenes seperated by some combat. The stories, the characters, everything are so tightly on rails that they don't give you control over anything but combat anymore. Eventually, they'll just play the game for you and make you watch.I can only afford to buy a new game every two or three months so this means I try very carefully to buy only the best games around. All the games I'm interested in are coming out for or are out for the X-box and the X-box version is superior to the PS2 version for games that are out for both systems. Buying an X-box was an easy choice for me.The GC doesn't even enter into the equation. Zelda, Metroid, and Resident Evil are the only GC games of any worth. Every other good GC game is available on other consoles.All of my friends with both or all three systems have never even looked at their PS2s or GCs since buying X-boxes.</blockquote>
