I believe the XBox is based on a 733MHz P3, but I know it has an nVidia chipset and - most importantly - a very tasty nVidia graphics chip. It has more than enough power to run any of the sims you can mention, but the investment would never pay off (licence fees and development time aren't cheap).
The PS2 would also be capable of running the sims without breaking in to a sweat, but the development cost would be much greater due to the more obscure programming interface employed by the machine's OS.
If you hadn't already guessed... I'm a programmer
