You have to consider too the PS2 was out 18 months before the GameCube. It was monstrously powerful for its time, absolutely destroyed any PC graphics card.
N64 would've mopped the floor with the Playstation if Nintendo hadn't been so stubborn and compromised with third parties to add a CD-drive to the hardware design (let Miyamoto make his cartridge games if he wants).
Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, Zelda: OoT, plus perhaps things like Resident Evil 1-3, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy VII on one console? Game over for Sony.
