PS3 pulling a Saturn?

Careful big guy... your fanboy is showing. ;)
Seriously... those are just excuses. I own all 3 systems from the generation and love them all. Your excuses don't change the fact that the NUMBER of games is not even close.
Ports, originals, magic.... it doesnt matter. There are more "good" games on the PS2 than the GC. Used game prices don't change that either.

Frankly, if there are 30 good games on one console, and 75 good games on the other, it makes no difference to me. I'm only going to play 5-10 of them and am going to choose the console that has the 5-10 I want to play.
Thus I don't have a PS2.

That's perfectly logical, and how most people feel. However, would you come out and say "The gamecube has more highly rated games than the PS2" ?? I doubt you would. You'd say there are more GC games that *you* like. Or that all of those "good" Racing and sports games on PS2 mean nothing to me... but that's opinion.
Shmokes and I are talking pure numbers here. You can't try every game in existence realistically, so you use reviews as a basis of quality. One review can be biased.. so you use multiple reviews to try to perceive "the truth" about the game. Once that's done, you have data that can be seen and compared. And when you do that, there are more good games on PS2 than GC... using numbers.
That said, I have more GC games I'd consider great than PS2 games I'd consider great... but that brings us back to opinion.

No, I wouldn't, because I don't know what games are rated what nor do I care. I had a PS2, couldn't find very many games I wanted to try, then tried a few I was lukewarm about and they weren't any fun, so I sold the thing while I could still get some money for it.

Dude, seriously... even when someone comes right out and says "you win", you still have to argue with them?
