I’d imagine the X-Box (or the 360), because of X-Box Live, making it easier to get online to play. And from the limited playing I’ve done on one, the controller just seems ‘right’ for FPS’s, even though it’s not much different from the PS2. I can’t place why. ---

For first person shooters I have to agree : the Xbox or Xbox360 would be pretty good. Nintendo isn’t very shooter-oriented and the PS2 doesn’t have a whole lot of good shooters (Black is one, but that one is also on the Xbox). Somehow the controller of the PS2 doesn’t loan itself very well to shooters. The Xbox360 doesn’t have a whole lot of shooters yet, but the ones it has, look amazing and play really well.
