Size always matters, I have limited space for consoles so the fact that one (X-Box) is almost twice as big as the other (GC) does affect which I choose.

The reason I dont trust Microsoft is that they bought out Bungee just a few months before they released Halo on the PC, something I will never ever forgive them for.:\
The thing is that everyone says (Ok, not everyone but I'm trying to make a point,
) that the X-Box is great, but there aren't that many really greate games for it.
Graphics, Proccesors and Hard Drives are great, but its all redundent if you dont have good games. Which is why my money is on Nintendo and, to a lesser extent, Sony.
Nintendo have already proved they can make great games, but have as yet not had the best consoles to make them on. Playstation 2 games are already a success, but I'd hold back on calling them the clear winners since they've never yet had real competition. In the last war the N64 was outdated before the first one was sold, still hanging onto cartridges. And the Dreamcast never did great, something I still dont understand.
In my oppion, the X-Box and the Playstation 2 still have a lot of ground to cover to prove just how great they really are.
