That's not really a great comparison. The PS2 had a beefy CPU design because Ken Kutaragi was into that (PS3 also had the CELL design which a relatively powerful CPU for its time). 

The GameCube GPU was definitely better than the PS2. 

Why is it not a good comparision?

Not a challenge. A question. The point of the post is that looking at flops alone can send a misleading image.

It's misleading because the PS2/PS3 are somewhat unusual designs in that they have an overpowered CPU relative to the GPU. Think of it like a bodybuilder with huge forearms but compartively average/small-ish biceps. 

The GameCube was better than the PS2 on the GPU side and that accounts for most of graphical capability.
