After the DC cratered into a pile of dust, Sega did something that I have always though was a silly move and released a great deal of exclusive content on all 3 major consoles at the time, the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube.
So the question is which of the three consoles do you think got the best line-up from Sega? Sega Ips only, Focusing on single platform exclusives:
On PS2 they had:
On the GameCube they had:
IMO, despite thinking they should have just thrown all or most of their stuff on the Xbox or PS2 and splitting their resources never made sense. I'd go with Xbox. For one, it has pretty much everything covered, you have a beat em; up. Arcade and realistic racing games, House of the Dead, arcade style titles, Shooters, and Action Adventure titles.
I think the GC was the weakest as Sonic and Monkey ball were basically the starts of the show and wasn't that interested in Billy. PS2 was decent but the quality drop for some of the series like Shinobi and Thunder Force is obvious. Points for VF4 and Yakuza though. But I feel like Xbox touched more areas with equal quality. I'd Say Xbox>PS2>GameCube.
