While everyone is going on about what great graphics the X-Box has, I'd like to point out that most reviewers pick the PS2 for better control on multiplatform releases.
I'll be the first to admit that the X-Box looks better on the screen but no matter how good a game looks, the control is what matters to me. I personally feel that Sony hit upon perfection when they created the PS2 Dual Shock controller. I've even got one hooked up to my PC for playing emulated games when the urge hits me.
The other reason I'll always stand up for my PS2 is that they have more innovative games than the other consoles. Particularly when it comes to music type games. I am bummed that I can't play KOTOR or Viewtiful Joe on my PS2 but I am placated by the presence of Amplitude, DDRMax, ICO, Gran Tourismo, Rez, and a handful of other games that only appear on my PS2.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
