 I had PS2 and GC, but not Xbox. In regards to Sega, the best thing about them going multiplat was being able to play Virtua Fighter 4 on a system that I already owned. VF4 and Evolution blew PS2-era Tekken out of the water. They were the best fighting games of the era.

I only had a PS2 so I missed out on Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Sonic Gems Collection, Crazy Taxi 3, Otogi 1 & 2, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia, etc.

I think they were the only Japanese 3rd party publisher not afraid to fully support Xbox and Nintendo during the 6th generation, whereas other publishers clearly had a favorite which was obviously PS2.

Capcom was split between Sony and Nintendo, though generally favoring Sony for that sweet installbase. One obvious weakness the PS2 had relative to PS1 was that it kinda sucked at Resident Evil. Outbreak were cool spinoffs but weird and experimental. Viewtiful Joe, Code Veronica, RE4 were late and mostly inferior ports. Dead Aim sucked. Dino Crisis 3 and P.N.03 were exclusive to Xbox and GameCube (but they were terrible, probably the worst games I played on these consoles). I think Shinji Mikami had some sort of grudge against Playstation's management at the time.
