I agree with you guys 100%. PS2 technology is extremely outdated compared to GameCube and XBox. Also, more developers are finding that the 'Cube is a much easier system to program for, since one of the main problems of the PS2 was it's difficult program features.
Sony still has hopes for their aging system. But now that I think about it, the PS2 actually has a less of a chance of surviving than the XBox, since it is now considered "old news". The only thing that can keep the PS2 alive is their poorly-anticipated online service, which right now, is Microsoft's main priority. PS2 will eventually fail, though--because not many new games are being released for the system, and it is quickly losing support from 3rd-party companies.
Microsoft is just digging themselves into a much deeper hole since the introduction of Windows XP. The XBox is simply a weak attempt by the company to try to appeal to a wider consumer audience. Obviously, they have failed in this aspect, seeing as how the XBox is doing so poorly! Ha ha! Stupid Microsoft!
Once Super Mario Sunshine is released, Nintendo will suddenly skyrocket to the top! Ironically, if many gamers are interested in mainly "adult" games, then why didn't Eternal Darkness get any hype when it was released? Another big game for Nintendo will be StarFox Adventures. That game has recieved more hype than the new Zelda game!
I think that Nintendo has the brightest future of all the companies! They have survived countless threats from Sony and SEGA, so why misjudge them now?

Nintendo is like a religion to me, and Shigeru Miyamoto is the God of it.
A world without Nintendo is a world without videogames.
Congratulation''s Nintendo, for over 25 years of videogame excellence!
