I have do disagree... technicaly speaking the game cube is better all the way, and most important : the games on game cube are made for it and works perfectly on it whereas some playstation games are coming from pc and are just thrown into the ps2. Who never experienced a lag with the ps2 ?
Anyway, I think the people who wants a console need a game cube because it's fun, it's 4 players and inovative (every machine has guns, the game cube got bongos). If you want nice action games, the real ones are not on PS2 but on computer. My rother in law has a ps2. He tested once a game on both : there is no comparasion, even with a medium powered graphic cards.
And by the way for me the ps2 has always been a 'racaille' (only french should understand *twisted* ) console :P The entraineur, pro evolution soccer, rap games. not to mention their sudden move to the star accademy *glasses*
