The GameCube, while a lot of fun ... and home of Zelda/Windwaker ... is the odd system out. Because it uses the minidiscs, it doesn't double as a cd or dvd player. The game library is significantly weak compared to both PS2 and Xbox. All PS1 games can be played on the PS2, which is what gave it the advantage for me. Xbox has the better graphics engine, but I find this to be outweighed, again, by the variety of games available for the PS2 platform.
And another thing ... Nintendo is already developing their NEXT system (G5, i think they are calling it) and it is uncertain whether it will be play GC discs. So far, Nintendo has NOT been good about backsupporting their old systems, even while promising an adapter cartridge or expansion cartridge or somesuch ... the N64 transfer pak only allowed you to play specified GameBoy programs, like pokemon, if you bought Pokemon Stadium, or would transfer some data/special stuff between 64 and Game Boy Versions ... like Mario Tennis. It was SUPPOSED to work like the SNES gameboy adapator, which allowed you to play any GB cart on the tv screen, added false color as necessary, etc. An SNES adaptor had been promised for the N64 which never materialized.
(and I'm someone who up until the PS2 had always bought Nintendo).
