| 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. | Despite some clever dual-screen gaming mechanics, the
Wii U's lack of compelling exclusive software and an overall unpolished user experience make it tough to recommend in its current state. |
