Do you not think N64 differentiated itself back then,  Nintendo's unique 1st party portfolio especially with Rare, its superior control pad and PC ports which weren't possible on playstation hardware. The Gamecube however didn't offer anything gaming wise that the PS2 didn't. I loved the platform but the gamecube didn't even have great platformers lol. It didn't excel the PS2 in anyway other then its graphical capabilities.

PS2's JRPGs, Action games, adventure games, fighting games >>>>

Xbox's FPS's, Western RPGS >>>>

Gamecube??? (Party games?)

Uhhh...

First of all, lot's of PS2 games looked bad and ran poorly on the thing, it was hard to develop for. GC was cheaper, more powerful and easier to develop for. I love Battlefront, but it's a pain to play today because they barely used colour in that game. It's very grainy.

Let's also completely ignore games like Resident Evil 4 (the superior version), Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 1, Metroid Prime 2, Super Mario Sunshine (a great platformer, unlike those PS2 R & C games people call platformers for some reason), Viewtiful Joe, Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Star Fox Adventures (Zelda clone), Soul Calibur II (it has progressive scan, PS2 version doesn't,oh and it has Link), Eternal Darkness (a horror game that is actually scary, truly a once in a generation game), Mario Kart: Double Dash (60 fps, even when playing with 4 people locally), Paper Mario: the thousand year door, etc.

Not to mention that you couldn't even play with 4 people locally on the PS2 without buying an extra add-on. 

So what games on the PS2 are like Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Animal Crossing, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin and Super Smash Bros. Melee?

How is it related to what he said?
