Well lets get a few things straight...
PS2 is my favorite system, mainly due to exclusive titles...
Xbox (my least favorite mainly due to the controller) has WAY better graphics than PS2 will EVER have.
Even Sony will tell you that the Xbox is more powerful.
The only thing that is comparable on the Xbox and PS2 is the main CPU speed. Xbox has a 733MHz Intel chip while PS2 relies on a 292MHz RISC chip. Those two are comparable.... the speeds seem like a big difference, but the architecture is whats important, RISC vs CISC.
However, graphics-wize the PS2 loses big. Both systems use a CISC graphics chip. The PS2 is 125Mhz, while the Xbox is 250MHz. The Xbox has double the processor memory (32MB vs 16MB). The Xbox has double the memory bandwidth of PS2 (6.4GB/sec vs 3.2GB/sec). Did we get to polygon processing yet? Xbox: 125M/sec, PS2 66M/sec...
I still love my PS2, but it is definately the most UNDER powered of the 3.
