PS2
66 million (raw)
Xbox
125 million (raw)
GC
6-12 million (with game effects on)
In this category, GC is COMPLETELY outclassed by the other two.
PS2 Xbox GC

Same, GC is COMPLETELY outclassed by the other two.
Media:
PS2: CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
Xbox: CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

GC discs can't be burnt, but it really doesn't matter that much. GC can't play CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tho, which is a downside.
Memory Card: Xbox and PS2 have 8MB memory cards while GC only has 4MB, but it doesn't really matter that much.
PS2 Xbox GC

GC beats PS2 by a small margin, but Xbox completetly destroys the other two.
As you can see, GC is better than PS2 by a little, but certainly NOT close to Xbox.
