I'm going with the 'Cube. I love that it has a handle and that its discs are bite sized. I'm sure that there are some Xbox games out there that would be fun, but I would much rather go with the ones that are more fun on the Game Cube such as:

Tales of Symphonia
Baiten Kaitos
Skies of Arcadia
Melee
Eternal Darkness

There are more, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind when I hear the words "game" and "cube" next to one another. It's an underrated system.

I don't really care for its controller, but that's another story. At least it fits in your hands unlike the Xbox's whopper sized controller.

To be fair, I hated the Xbox "Duke" controller but loved the "S" controller.  And in the era of wired controllers being standard, the Xbox controllers had the longest cords on the market and the cool "break away" feature so you didn't pull a two-ton console off the shelf.

I'm not even familiar with the S controller. Was that a smaller version of the original controller?

And gamecube had the shortest cords on the market for sure! Probably in the purpose of selling wavebird controller.

Yeah...they were pretty short.  I think only Dreamcast came with shorter cables.  I was never a big fan of the Gamecube controller.  I didn't like the giant "A" button and the bean-shaped "X" and "Y" buttons.  The shoulder buttons also never felt comfortable to me and  the C-stick was annoying as my thumb slipped off it like it was coated in baby oil.  The D-pad was tiny, the Z-trigger was wonky....I just didn't like much of anything about it.  At least I can say it was more comfortable to hold than the N64 controller.
