For the most part. I would say Metroid Prime stood up well, though. A lot of it depended on whether you were on an HDTV and using component cables etc. If you were running everything with composite and on an SDTV, things tended blurred and the differences were pretty small. The PS2, on the other hand, now that was the real stinker. It had the best library of exclusives by a mile, but its games looked so much worse in comparison that whenever there was that rare chance to get a third party game on Gamecube or Xbox, I would always get it for one of those instead. Splinter Cell 1, being a prime offender.

Nah. Even at 480P when you fired up something like Morrowind and saw that Pixel Shader 1.4 effects, you knew you were playing something that couldn't be done on another console.

Remember, we didn't achieve "Photorealism" even at 480P, so there can be a big gulf in visuals.

My experiences and yours were completely different. I had a brand new 32inch, 1080i CRT during that gen with all three consoles hooked up to it with component cables. I do not recall any Xbox game being that far ahead graphically to the best stuff on Gamecube. Yes, they were better--especially in the lighting department--but not mind-blowing better. Not in my opinion anyway. And I was playing everything at its highest possible resolution and in progressive scan (when it was applicable). 

Man, this whole discussion is giving me flash backs to the old days when message boards were the go-to for console combat. Looking back now, it's kind of crazy how rabid people use to get over things of this nature. In a way, it kind of foreshadowed the vitriol that we now see on social media etc.
