Yeah, for RPGs and console-style strategy games the PS2 is the best choice... for the strategy ones it's pretty much the only choice (excepting the stuff on the GBA)... which is a boost for the PS2, definitely. And NGC has its strengths in platformers, etc... X-Box has good games for sure but it just doesn't have the top quality true exclusives (ie exclusive just to X-Box -- not X-Box and PC...) that the other consoles have. It's got a lot of the best versions of the multiplatform games (oh joy), and definitely the best multiplayer... the multiplayer is honestly the thing's biggest plus by far. I know PS2 has some too, but it's fragmented and not nearly as good in quality from what I've heard...
Oh yeah, there is a X-Box port of GTA3/Vice City out, you know, and the games are also on PC. No PS2 exclusive there anymore. :)
X-Box has just a couple of RPGs that I can think of... Morrowind and KOTOR for harder core ones (both, of course, are better on PC, especially Morrowind) and some action-RPGs (BG: DA, etc). Does it even have any menubased RPGs?
I do wish I could have an X-Box, but its exclusives lineup just isn't that strong. I mean, what third party exclusives does it have... anything other than Dead or Alive? :)
