It feels like you are missing the point.  If we listed the top 100 games in that generation, the ps2 had access to what 70%?  80%?  It was one of the most dominate generations I have ever witnessed.  Personal preference, but that fact that "Shenmue II" is being listed proves my point.  Outside a handful, and I do mean a handful, there isn't much the ps2 didn't have on their console.  

Edit
Also if I were you, I would have listed JSRF, given it was one of the better xbox exclusives.  Don't get me wrong, I owned and enjoyed my xbox, but the ps2 smashed the competition.  It wasn't an accident that it is the highest selling console of all time, while both the GC and xbox were meh in sales.

Personally I am glad both MS and Nintendo raised their game and provided Sony with better competition since those days.  

I never said the PS2 didn't smash the competition.  In fact, in my own post in this thread, I stated that I voted for the PS2 (although it was a very hard choice for me over the PS1).  But, your exact statement was "There wasn't a game the ps2 didn't have with the exception of Nintendo", which is just flat out wrong.  The XBox had some great exclusives, and its the reason I owned all 3 of the Sony, Microsoft, & Nintendo consoles that generation.  And, I have no problem admitting that my PS2 definitely got the most play time of those three.  But your statement very clearly indicated that the PS2 didn't miss out on any big games that gen that weren't Nintendo first party games.  Between Kakadu18 and myself, we easily named 7 great original XBox exclusives, and as you pointed out there were others that we didn't even mention.  That's an entire average gamer's worth of game purchases for a console generation.  I don't take exception to anything you have said about the PS2's dominance during its generation, but the very specific wording of your statement was entirely incorrect.
