The PS2 is the coolest console of all time. (Here's Why)

[Dwolfin]

This console, held more games than any other could even come close to, had a ♥♥♥♥ ton of exclusives because of how many small indie games, Japanese titles were on the console.

Had a start up screen where a certain number of towers sat at the bottom was equal to the number of game save files you have and their height was how long you had time played in them.

Every game had their own custom save icons which I am fascinated by and obsessed with. Idk how there is not a wiki for them alone. They can be 3D figures, they can have animations, delete animations, some even change after a certain point of the game.

The amount of cool and absolute amazement the PS2 has still blows away anything else to this day, but hell, some of the greatest games ever are PS2 games too.

PC players always win, I have so many emulators on this bad boy. My pc sextuples as a PS1, PS2, PS3, gamecube, wii, psp, gameboys, pc98 system.

PC stands for Powerful Console so thats the best 1.

It definitely was the best console of its time.

Well, not that it had any competition to begin with.

Not sure if I can call it the "coolest" of all time. Sounds like an opinion to me.

Influence wise, Atari, SNES, the Game Boy, and of course, the predecessor PS1, probably have more than the PS2.

its mostly about what you owned and loved "back in the good old days" ps2 wouldn't make my top 10 list but its the most sold console of all time -159 million.

Dreamcast is the actual correct answer but some (WRONG) people will disagree. :D

how does the ps1 have more than the ps2? It had nothing cool like the ps2 did, or close to the amount of games, and you could play every ps1 game on the ps2. Atari, is the og, thats all its got going for it, SNES was cool, but still didnt do things the ps2 did or have close to the amount of games, and the two things to talk about here are Nintendo, which is always stuck to their own things. I judge against them for that alone, but the game boy definitely was one of the great hand helds.

I fight with no one who says, ps2, gamecube, or Dreamcast. because those 3 are all the right answers. Anything else is horribly wrong.

Virgin PS2: MVC2 runs with slowdown, low audio quality and worse looking sprites.

Chad Dreamcast: MVC2 runs flawlessly.

Gamecube had a nice version of Phantasy Star, Gamecube can hang..

PS2 "ports" couldn't do Quake 3 or Unreal very well. :D

Nah first letting PS2 in was a mistake, adding the Dreamcast is the blunder that does it. Now this is the part where you quietly concede the title to GameCube and GameCube only and move about your day

PS2 vs DC because of when they came out --- dont worry about the size of the library (100s of games is more than enough) but look at the quality and the amount of fun original new IPs that were coming out at the time. Dreamcast actually wins.

The PS3 flopped because Xbox came out first, and the PS3 was $500 at release. It also has almost no exclusives. It had nothing to do with PS2 being overrated

on top of all of this, his entire paragraph is a joke. Hes an Xboxer. Xbox stood nothing against the ps2 and the ps2 had millions more titles than any other console, and to this day is still the second most sold console, on top of all of that, the reason the ps3 flopped was because of horrible marketing, and missing features that would stay that way for its whole lifespan that 360 dominated it on. Im not a sucker for either side because im not a fool. PS2 dominated everything, and still holds titles and games that blow any other generation out of the water, and ps3 was generally a huge mistake in many areas. YOu had to talk in GAME. THEY NEVER ADDED PARTY SYSTEMS! On top of all that, PS3 was quite over priced.

So yeah, it took quite a hard fall.

Shame too, because the PS3 was actually superb hardware. Literally a better gaming machine than the 360 with better performance all the way down to the actually physically material used. The 360 felt very fragile. Not that the PS3 wasn't fragile, but it just felt like it was made sturdier to me.

As you said, god awful marketing decisions, and a heap of missed opportunities. The 360 got ALL the best games in that era, and at the end of the day, that is all that matters for a gamer.

Yeah I imagine PS3 will forever be the down point console for sony

I loved the PS2, but for some reason the Dreamcast has always been my favorite.

Dreamcast was the best console
PlayStation 1 was the 2nd best console
OG Xbox was the 3nd best console

Dreamcast library was terrible. It's best games were ports of PS1/N64 stuff with a little polish on it and it by far had the worst controller of anything Nintendo, Sony, Sega, or Microsoft has ever put out.
