Not sure if this is really unpopular, but recently I've seen a lot of people saying that the GameCube was the best console of it's time, and I've got to say... I can't agree. Easily the best console was the PlayStation 2. Sure, it's graphical capabilities were below the GC and Xbox, but some games were a genuine exception. I know I've mentioned these games a couple of times (thanks to my love of cars and all), but Gran Turismo 3 and 4 pushed the console to its limits, and the former was a near-launch title. Theres a lot more in favour of the PS2 that I can name, but we'd be here forever otherwise. Which brings me to this...

The two PS2 Gran Turismo games were the best looking games of the PS2/GC/Xbox era. Yeah, better than Halo, Mario Sunshine, Sonic Riders and whatever else was graphically impressive during those 7 years. A realistic, down to earth racing game is much more impressive than mainline titles like Mario and Sonic to me, and that's ridiculous. A lot more could've been done with console limits in terms of the GCN and Xbox, but Nintendo and Microsoft didn't utilise it while Sony did.
