| The Bottom Line | The most affordable of the current game systems, the Nintendo GameCube offers great graphics and good performance but few extras. | The elder statesman of next generation consoles, the PlayStation 2 has the luxury of a year's head start and many solid games. | The Xbox is the most versatile console and perfectly complements a home-theater system. | Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console. | If you don't mind the dearth of HD graphics, the Nintendo Wii's combination of motion-sensitive controllers, included Wii Sports titles, and emphasis on fun gameplay make the ultra-affordable console hard to resist. | Basic specs |
