For me, easily the Gamecube but it's also one of my favorite home consoles of all time. Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, REmake, Eternal Darkness, F-Zero GX, Animal Crossing, Rogue Leader and Smash Melee were all fantastic and were all only on Gamecube. My favorite games for the Xbox and the PS2 were Splinter Cell and Resident Evil 4, respectively... and both were available on the Cube. The Thousand Year Door, Viewtiful Joe, Pikmin 1&2, Soul Calibur 2, Ikaruga, Super Monkey Ball, Sands of Time and Capcom vs SNK 2 were also titles I really liked.
Other than needing some play time with Halo and God of War 1&2, I was perfectly content with just owning Nintendo's console that generation - something I couldn't say since the NES or again until the Switch. The only real disappointment on Gamecube for me was, unfortunately, Mario; I didn't care for Sunshine or Double Dash.
