I think it is pretty fast, but its surely not the best on the market. From a game developers point of view, Gamecube is the best system to make games for by far, dispite not having the best specs. But, because it still uses cartriges instead of CD/DVDs, many game developers have moved away from it. The PS2 rocks, its probably your best bet. Noone is unsatisfied with the PS2. A PS2 can function as a CD player, a DVD player, and can play all PS1 games as well as PS2 games. There will always be the most games for PS2, and they have many great games. Game developers have complained about the difficulty for making games on both the PS2 and the X-box however. X-box really only has one good game, Halo. Also, I believe X-box does have an OS in its innards, some kind of TCPA degraged windows. X-box has sold very poorly, maybe the next X-box will be much better, but so far, X-box has been a flop. Here are some sales figures (for Japan I believe):
"This morning, Media Create sent out the latest Japanese hardware figures, this time covering the week ending December 1st. This past week seemed to once again bode very well for Nintendo, with Game Boy Advance units leading the way with 145,900 sold. Meanwhile, PlayStation 2 followed with 66,300, GameCube shot up to 35,100 units, and Xbox once again saved itself from the three digit numbers by hitting 3,100 units sold. With Zelda: The Wind Waker only a week away, next week?s charts should be very interesting indeed.
Game Boy Advance: 145,900 (Annual: 2,459,300)
PlayStation 2: 66,300 (Annual: 3,167,900)
GameCube: 35,100 (Annual: 958,500)
Xbox: 3,100 (Annual: 276,786)
PlayStation: 2,100 (Annual: 208,100)
Wonder Swan Crystal: 1,100 (Annual: 103,600)
Game Boy Color: 800 (Annual: 80,400)
Wonder Swan Color: 550 (Annual: 115,500)
Nintendo 64: 54 (Annual: 6,000)
