I'm not too sure, but if you combine X-box and Gamecube the number of games available actually breaks into double digits.
Frogger on Atari 2600 was the pinnacle of gaming excellence. For several decades man has attempted to make a game of its caliber but has been met only with failure.

65 XBox games + 43 Gamecube games = 108 games available.

yeah this is total sweetness!! I saw it on TV when they revealed it on Friday.
It was awesome when they had the power on every system and they used the AV switcher knob to switch through all the systems on the screen.
"....here's PS2.....*click*...here's Gamecube...*click*.....here's XBox...*click* here's Nintendo" I think I remember them saying it costed around $4,000 though.....but! you can play practically any game you want on that thing.
Yoshi's da man! I also like the stuffed bear he turned into an ethernet router, complete with LED eyes that light up when the network is in use!

The only way I could see myself wanting or building one of these is if there was a way to have every console work with one controller. It would have to be either an XBox or PS2 controller, as those have enough buttons for all of the systems.
Another thing I would suggest is that I think it would be easier to just have good emulators installed on the PC part of the system instead of the real SNES, Genesis, NES, Neo*Geo, etc. taking up room inside.

But back to the issue, this guy clearly did this just as a challenge to himself. So it makes sense that he would want to get as many systems physically into the box as possible.
Just my $0.02
