Debatable for PS2 era. Definitely the most iconic and most successful, but not sure if it was objectively the best - I would even argue it was the lowest of the big four.


The PS2 was way more gooder than the Xbox and Gamecube.


Anyone who disagrees is wyling

The PS2 is the GOAT console for a reason

While it's not debatable for the PS2 because of how much the PS2 dominated the generation the OG Xbox is ridiculously underrated.

As someone that has owned a sony console every generation, I wouldn't ps3 beat the 360. Even if it turns out they sold a little bit more in the end, the fact that the 360 had that lead for so long and didn't have support in Japan and possibly some other countries compared to the playstation says something.

Not debatable at all.

PS2 was factually the best console of that generation. Largest library, most sales and cemented the PlayStation brand as a true icon in the industry.

The PS3 came out like a year or 2 after with a price point 200 dollars higher. No shit Xbox had an early lead and ran with it. The fact that the PS3 caught up says even more considering the insane lead Microsoft had.

No not really. Dreamcast had an amazing library, but it died too fast and was too weak to really compete.

Tbh I say the Playstayion is the worst system of every gen just cause I really hate their controller design. And they never change it. I literally just can't even play PS games pretty much.

What would their sales figures be if they didn't fuck up and make people buy new ones?

I've talked to tons of retail workers and they said they took back a Playstation system several times a week but they almost never had any cases of a broken Nintendo system being returned.

i am a nintendo fan for sure but the playstation has been leaps and bounds better every gen until this one. i still think the ps4 is overall superior so far but the switch is really good and the first great nintendo console since the snes

Like I said - iconic and successful (and definitely the one I enjoyed the most too). But in terms of the console's actual power and features, it was the worst. Weakest hardware, no built-in storage (though that's true of its competitors other than Xbox, too), etc. Keep in mind - literally, Nintendo's console of that generation had more raw power - something that's unheard of these days.

PS2 wasn't a great system in and of itself. It was marketed well and had a great library for sure, but the system itself was average at best.

It comes down to personal preference. For instance, I got more enjoyment out of my Xbox than I did the PS2. I found the Xbox 360 to be above and beyond better than the PS3. This generation has been incredibly underwhelming for both sides IMO, but I'd give it to Sony for the exclusives and MS for the hardware/multiplats.

It's the best selling system of all time for a good reason.

Because it doubled as a DVD player.

It did, hands down. Started badly but won in the end

If youre stretching I guess you could make an argument that PS3 won by a hair in the end, but theres absolutely no way you can reasonably claim it won hands down. Youre really letting your fanboy show through with a statement like that.

you could literally divide the 360 sales by a third cos most owners needed to buy 3+ fucking pieces of shit
so yea 360 put up a good fight in resale to the same users who due to sunken cost fallacy

I got my 360 replaced twice, but both times Microsoft did it for free. Not sure if they counted those as sales.

I had to get my PS3 replaced within a week of when I bought it because it wouldn't connect to the internet. The PS3 had its own yellow light problem, so Sony was far from perfect, too.

Remember that Japanese devs struggled with the PS3 for the first few years, hence why games like Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia were on 360 lol

Hell I'm buying the Vesperia Remaster on Xbox One just to pay homage lol

Lost Odyssey is straight up a Microsoft ip it didn't have anything to do with devs struggling, as a mater of fact tales of vesperia was also on ps3 but i was never brought west.

Indeed. It was nothing but a bunch of westernized garbage trying to copy Microsoft. That, & having to install games due to slow Blu-Ray disc drives & speeds, etc. It's the same with PS4.

And PS4 was basically all about more boring westernized 1st party shit, along with ports/remakes & games being incomplete with garbage like Microtransactions, Season Passes, Pre-orders, etc. just in order to get most shit that was already on game discs, etc. They have even moved their gaming headquarters from Japan into the US all because they want to chase the western market instead of staying true to their roots.

At this point, Nintendo is the only true Japanese gaming publisher left among the big three.

Which is subjective and I can play my Switch anywhere, so therefore the Switch is better for me as a user. Deal with it.

I really think a strong argument can be made for the 360, depending on your taste in genres. As others mentioned, the 360 was a modern mecca for shoot em ups in particular.

Agree with the other generations, though.
