I don't know about a specific year but Gamecube is still the best multiplatform support Nintendo got in my opinion. It got a lot of games the same day as PS2 and they usually ran better too.

Lots of series and games: The Sims, Timesplitters, Need for Speed, SSX, Prince of Persia, Tony Hawk's, Fifa, Madden, NFL, NBA, Crash, Splintercell, Spyro, GUN, Simpsons Hit & Run, Spider-Man.

Not late ports and not compromised performance. EA in particular have been crap at supporting Nintendo systems after the gamecube.

2003 did offer a lot of the games you mention; Need for Speed Underground, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, SSX 3, Tony Hawk Underground, Splinter Cell, The Sims, Simpsons Hit and Run, FIFA, NBA, etc, pus others like Beyond Good and Evil, Burnout 2, Skies of Arcadia, Ikaruga.
