There are many factors to consider, but firstly X-box has a custom built GeForce3, and a unified 64MB RAM Architecture. Its polygon pusihng power, texture rendering etc... far surpass the PS2. Also, although the Xbox CPU may be "outdated" by PC standards, as console standards go it is quite impressive and seriously out-perfoms the PS2's CPU.
Now granted there are many differences to the architecture and how they handle certain things, but no matter how good your architecture is it can't quite beat out raw power, no matter what. But the X-box actually has a pretty good architecture, that was made easy to access all of its power, its Sony's fault for creating something that was difficult to use, or could be considered a bad architecture. Plus even if someone was to be able to use 100% of the PS2 and its architecture, it is still not able to carry out as many insturctions, polygons, lighting effects, geometry and floating point numbers as the X-box can, plus with less RAM it can't store as many instructions and resources for later use as the X-box can.
The Xbox is more powerfull than any other console, its simply a fact that is showcased by games that could not possibly be done on PS2 or GC.
