It all depends on what you want, and who you ask. I know that there will probably be many people here for both sides, as there are everywhere. But it all depends on what you want to do with it. Each has perks, in my oppinion.
X-Box, I find, after talking to some friends with them, is the best thing next to a computer for online play. I know that a lot of the games for XBox are made especially for it, and that is great. I don't have a connection for my PS2 though, so I can't compare the two of them.
PS2 I find, as I have one, is mosty for the single player in us. Maybe 2 people, but notice that it doesn't have the 4 slots for controllers that the GameCube has, and I believe that the XBox does too. If you find yourself playing alone a lot of the time, and don't want to pay another monthly fee, than i would say this is the system for you. Also, the PS2 can play your old PS1 games, so that is another plus for this system.
But I would have to say that given a tie, still, let the games make your choice. Each system has a few great games for them, and you should choose the one with the most games to your liking. For example, PS2 has the final fantasy stuff, but it doesn't have, for example, Halo or Mech Assault. In the end, make the choice that you think you will enjoy the most games with.
That's just my 2 cents...
