I said it before and I'll say it again. The logic one should use in this day and age when deciding on which console to buy is to completely forget about console specs. The one console you buy should solely contain the games that YOU want to play. To buy a console because of the console is just pointless because any of these consoles are already a huge leap technologically from previous consoles. If the console plainly was not a leap from the previous generation's console, then sure, I would wait.
If it takes two consoles to fully get across what you want to play, well so be it. I personally just need the PS2, as the PS2 is the only console that has the games I like to play. Not the Xbox, not the Gamecube. Sure there's games from both I'd like to play, but not enough to sacrifice the much, much larger amount of games on the PS2 that I want to play.
All three consoles are plainly
quite powerful and totally impress me particularly compared against the 3D graphic card based games the PC normally has, just from demos I've seen on all three, and more then powerful enough to run their games. I mean I'm not intending on using these consoles to hax0r some sex0r sites or something, so I don't know what I'd want "power" for. As long as the game runs smoothly, looks great, and has no slowdowns, I'm happy for the console. I'm more concerned about how the game plays and whether or not a game is glitchy.
In the past PCs held a clear graphic advantage over consoles because PC games always looked crystal clear sharp, while consoles always looked pixelated. That advantage has been eliminated in the current day consoles, thus I'm much more confident about the "power" in today's consoles then I was in the past.
