It's not like I started gaming this generation, or last for that matter to get cozy with HD. I've been a gamer since 1989... and my favorite game of all time is Castlevania:SOTN which is a 2D, non HD game.

Anywho, enough about me...here are some stats for you about PS2 VS Gamecube in black and white which everyone can understand.

CPU - PS2 300mhz VS Gamecube 485MHZ
Graphics Processor - 147 mhz PS2 VS 162 MHZ Gamecube
RAM - 32 MB PS2 VS 40MB Gamecube
Memory Bus Bandwidth - 3.2 GB PS2 VS 2.6 Gamecube

There are other factors and advantages to both system but you will notice that most of the basic specs favor gamecube by only 15 - 30%.

Now compare the specs for 360(which is the weaker on the PS3/360 side) to the Wii(if you can find them as Nintendo doesn't really talk about them much) ...the difference is usually 200-300%. Most 360 games are in 720p resolution which alone is pretty taxing compared to 480p Wii does...and still Wii can not compare. I have them both...I've seen same games running on both... RE5 as we know it thus far is not possible. Maybe Resident Evil 5 Chronicles few years later...

 You forget that the gamecubes architecture is far more efficient than the ps2s and the xbox making it be able to use more of its power.  The gamecubes utilizes its gpu more than the ps2 meaning it doesn't have to rely on its cpu for graphics production and cpus aren't made for graphics production the way gpus  are. So you should increase your estimate by 3 times because of two factors that I just thought of on the top of my head. I will think of more.
