I really love the Dreamcast. For what it represents as sega's final swan song, it's small but rock solid library full of innovation and the first time that affordable, arcade perfect-or-better gaming came home... and how it was trying to be forward thinking with the internet and windows-based hardware design... and the memories of going online with it and meeting friends that I still have.
...but the PS2 played PS1 games, PS2 games and DVDs, which means it was just a better thing to have next to my TV. The PS1 library is ridiculously classic that would be a tl;dr list and just in the PS2's own library you've FFX & FFXII, FFXI with the HDD, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, RE4 port, Okami, God of War 1 & 2, GTAIII Vice City & San Andreas, MGS2 & 3, Disgaea 1 & 2, Xenosaga 1-3, Dragon Quest VIII, Bully, Ratchet & Cank series, Jak & Dexter series, Persona 3 & 4, Klonoa 2, Devil May Cry 1 & 3, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Rogue Galaxy, Odin Sphere, Grim Grimoire, Shining Force EXA, Puzzle Quest... even classic Guitar Hero memories for the 6 months I enjoyed that game before everyone ruined it.
There's more, but I don't wanna grasp for straws and that was way enough for me.
I got a Gamecube when they were cheap and used, but barely got to enjoy it before losing it, but I bought plenty of great games for it with the intention of enjoying. The GBA add-on was awesome too.
Xbox only mattered to me at all because my cousin had one and Halo & Ninja Gaiden were awesome.
