Hmm... does Nintendo's isolating themselves as gaming-only as opposed to set-top boxes help them? Well... I don't know. I do know that Nintendo makes lots of extremely good games... which if they actually had caught public attention would have had a chance to sell great.
Well, I think it would be good, because they would be a completely different market from the competitors. Let Sony and Microsoft 'fight' it out, while GameCube does it's own thing. Giving people a gaming alternative, rather than a multimedia BEAST.

1st of all, not all XBox versions of the same game have better graphics. 2nd of all, PS2 has more multi-console games online than XBox does.
XBox has Capcom vs. SNK 2 online (PS2 version is not online). But PS2 has the entire EA sports lineup, while XBox does not.
You really shouldn't think that it's that much easier for games to be set up with online play for the XBox, because it simply isn't true. Unless, it's for a dedicated server (i.e. an MMORPG). Most games on the PS2 will be using a P2P system, anyways.
