Is this a joke?
GameCube and it's not even a close match.

I've always felt the gamecube lacked any real 3rd party support compared to the ps2.

Poll?

I'd go with PS2. I don't really care for either system anymore since I feel like almost all the good games have been remade one way or the other.

As much as I love the Gamecube's charm and set of games, the PS2 trumped it. If you disagree, and name is Helsinkirocks, you're in denial.

I find that the gamecube ports of games tend to be of higher quality. RE4 and Megaman X collection are two examples.

It's a matter of quality vs quantity. GameCube is quality. PS2 is quantity.

the gamecube has maybe 30-40 exclusive games that I'm intersted in. While the ps2 has well over 100 exclusive game I want for it ranging from rpgs (something the GC lacks) platformers and racers. ICO, SOTC,P4, FFX, KH 1-2, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, MGS 2-3, Okami, Zone of the Enders. I mean come on, come on... and if I want a superior version of a multi platform game I'll get the xbox version.

Are you just counting the Gamecube games or does the GBA player count too? The Gamecube teamed with the GBA player has one of the best library of games out there.

If your just counting GC games there there's no contest the PS2 has way more games!

I highly disagree with that statement. It may not have an abundant amount of RPGs, but it certainly has RPGs! It has some really great ones too!

Exclusive to Gamecube:
Pokemon Colosseum
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Baten Kaitos Origins
Evolution Worlds
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Lost Kingdoms
Lost Kingdoms II
Skies of Arcadia: Legends (Also on Dreamcast)
Phantasy Star Online, Episdoe I and II (Also on Dreamcast)
Phantasy Star Online Episode III
Mega Man Network Transmission (has some RPG elements)


Ports also on PS2:
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (yes this is a traditional turn based RPG, not like the other Lotr games on gamecube)
Mega Man X Command Mission
Gladius
Summoner: A Goddess Reborn (best port of Summoner 2, which is on the PS2)
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
X-Men Legends I and II
Digimon World 4 (i know it sucks, but its still an action RPG)
Virtua Quest

Simulation (some people consider these games RPGs for some reason..):
Animal Crossing
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody

For me the PS2 wins by a mile, i like the Gamecube but the comparison of library's isn't even close. They both have quality titles but the PS2 just has a hell of a lot more of them.

I would argue that the PS2 has a greater quantity of quality games. Sure, Gamecube had its quality games, like:
Pikmin 1+2
Eternal Darkness: Sanitys Requiem
Metroid Prime 1+2
The Legend of Zelda games
Tales of Symphonia
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Super Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Super Smash Bros Melee
Animal Crossing

but PS2 had far more notable games like:
MGS 2 and 3
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
Okami
Jak 1-3
Ratchet and Clank 1-3
Sly Cooper 1-3
Ape Escape 2-3
Zone of the Enders 1-2
Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII
Kingdom Hearts 1-2
Suikoden III-V
Persona 3-4
Dark Cloud 1-2
Rogue Galaxy
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Tales of the Abyss
Xenosaga 1-3
Devil May Cry 1-3
God of War 1-2
Gran Turismo 3-4
Rule of Rose

All pretty goddamn awesome, exclusive, and high quality games.

While I love the GameCube so much and obsess over it sometimes.. I cannot deny that the PS2 is far superior in terms of games. Sure, the Gamecube had more powerful hardware and some better ports but there was simply more to play on the PS2. Plus the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PSX, so add that library to it. The gamecube may have the GBAs library as well thanks to the gameboy player, but I find the PSX to have a superior library as well. That's why I voted for PS2.

Only consoles that have the game called Metroid Prime wins.
