Eh...most consoles have their strong points, as does the PC. For example, the PC has the most/best "true" RPGs.(In the Planescape/Baldur/Fallout style), fan-games, emulation(to play SNES, N64, PSX and so on a PC) and so on...
Game Cube has the strongest name-brand of all of the consoles, more or less. Sure, the X-Box and Playstation II almost have icons, but they are generally fewer and not as well known as the Game Cube's. Also, the Game Cube has a very strong core of games. The downside, is the lack of multiplayer over the internet...but truth be told, I think the GC is the best-suited for people who like single-player, good games, and has friends nearby who like games.(The GC is portable, after all...) Also, while the Game Cube has a strong core of games, it lacks a significant number of total games.
The Playstation II probably has the widest selection of games, ranging from extremely poor to excellent. It definately has some of the more exotic games of the three current consoles: Amplitude, DDR series the Eyetoy, and so on. It has a somewhat decent multiplayer function, but it is pretty much a middle player.
The X-Box...well, truth be told I don't know much. I suppose it can be said to have poor to excellent games as well, but the controllers are generally poor.(I hear) It has on-line play though, which is somewhat dependable, circumstances willing.
Now, keep in mind...each of the consoles offer something depending on where you live, and what you like. Also, the American/English countries do not have the chance to play certain Asian games...say, from the Super Robot Taisen series, various hentai-games, SD Gundam and so on.
