I never owned a ps2, but even Sony haters can't ignore the fact that the ps2 outsold the GC like what, 5-6:1, so obviously they did something right.
Also, the most amusing thing of the last generation was that in terms of raw hardware power, the GC was hands down more powerful then the PS2, and I remember all the Nintendo fans at the time saying that hardware power > all and the Sony fans saying that having the weakest(hardware) console made no difference.
Fast forward to this gen, Nintendo has the weakest(hardware) with fans saying the hardware doesn't matter much, and the Sony fans with their epically powerful ps3 are yelling that hardware power > all.
A bit of a historical irony there I'd say....
The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.
