PS2

It's not even the best console of that generation.

It's considered universally to be the best of that generation. It's just Xbox and Gamecube jockeying for second place

>>381830916
Yeah. only underages who are too young to have had one will disagree

Best console of all time... well, yes and no. Today playing games on PS2 is a torture even in a small CRT
Still has the best games though

Best console of all time in my opinion is PS4
I have: N64, Gamecube, Wii U, PS3, 360, SNES and Genesis

PS3 first model probably the second best console of all time because PS1 and PS2 hardware compatibility

>>381830916
Well, the word "best" implies there's a set of qualities it's supposed to excel at, but most of that is subjective, so let's just admit it was the most convenient purchase and it left the biggest impact.

>>381830978
Nintentwat detected. Gamecube had about 20 good games. The PS2 had at least 100

>>381830916
Not even in the top 5 tbqh

But it's ok, I understand it was your first.

We will never again have a library of games as expansive as the PS2s.

Someone doesn't remember in the early 2000's when Iraq bought up thousands of the PS2 and created a supercomputer out of them.

Nothing wrong with me.

It's just really good at doing its thing. Gamecube and Xbox were much more orthodox in their hardware design, so that when games were ported to PS2 with their engine architecture left intact it wouldn't have the necessary horse power to bruteforce through as intended.
But when PS2 native games were ported to other consoles, they'd equally run like crap in comparison, or just look hideous, because developers have to rethink the way the machine renders things so that they could translate all the tricks they pulled on PS2 and that takes ages, if it's even doable at all.

Example of non-PS2 games crapping out on PS2 and looking worse:

Resident Evil 4, Splinter Cell

Examples of PS2 games running worse and looking like ass when ported to other hardware:

MGS2, GTA:SA
