1080p 60fps is far from impossible

Not to get off subject here but the PS2 was 1.5+ years older than both the Xbox and GC.  So yeah it should have been kinda weaker.  The sad fact was that it was still powerfull enough to stand up to both, and only the Xbox ever gave it a run for its money.

I don't know, the GameCube and Xbox both had exclusives which showed they were more powerful systems, they just didn't have the userbase for 3rd parties to bother pushing them to their full capabilities. Had either of them been closer to PS2 sales, there would have likely been a much bigger difference for that platform.

When 70% of your userbase is on the weaker system, it makes far more sense for that to be the lead system then port whatever you have across to the others than it does making the lower userbase the lead system then having to make lots of tweaks and compromises to get it running on the PS2. Check out Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast to see just how much more horsepower the Xbox had when it was treated as the lead platform (on a multi platform game).

Or look at the cutbacks that had to be made porting RE4 to the PS2.  The PS2 was a great system but it was clearly less capable than the 'Cube and the Xbox.  It was my "go-to" for that gen but I was always a little jealous that I never owned an Xbox.

Ps2  whas def the weakest of the 2 but the difference was  not like the ps3 and wii..more like the x360 and ps3.

Games like God of war,Final Fantasy 10 And Ghosthunter showed that the ps2 whas quit strong.
