At the moment there are three major consoles on the market. Playstation 2, Gamecube and Microsoft's X Box. My Ratings of the Consoles :

Each of the consoles have pro and cons. The Playstation 2s graphics are poor but the selction of games is superb. The other way round for the Gamecube. While the X Box has everything right the selection of good games is pretty poor.
Specification wise the X Box beats them all hands down. With it 733 MHZ Intel Chip it's power is unbelivable.
Prices
X Box £199.99
PS2 £199.99
Gamecube £130.00
The Gamecube is the cheapest console of them all even though it was the last to be realeased. Why is it so cheap? While the PS2 and X Box are at the reasonable price of £199.
If I was buying one of these consoles it would have to be the X Box because of its superb graphics and loading times, not forgeting it own hardrive.
