It was amazing how long the system lasted. Part of it was due to companies porting PSP and Wii games to the system and how much more expensive new systems became at that time. I remember keeping my PS2 until 2012 as I had no reason not to. I kept finding games to play.

They're also high due to people buying it as a cheap alternative to buying a standalone DVD player. Some people legit never played a game on their PS2

This. I had more trouble with PS2 than any other console in my decades of gaming. My fat ps2 had to be refurbished twice and still broke a third time. At that point I just took it outside shot it repeatedly with a SKS and then a 12 gauge for good measure.

Most of my favourite games are PS1, but I could play those on PS2, so I've got no issue calling it the GOAT console.

i kinda realize now there aren't any good consoles, only good games and therefore it bodes down to which console that companies arbitrarily gravitate towards during any given generation.

Xbox One committed a form of suicide at launch and a lot of people initially jumped ship and got the ball rolling. And Xbox One never had that moment to draw people back so PS4 is the default go to option for most everyone

We will never have a console with a 2nd year holiday EXCLUSIVE lineup that includes the likes of Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Silent Hill 2 and Devil May Cry.

Because of this, I doubt we will ever see a console hit PS2 sales numbers again. Maybe a hybrid like the Switch might, but even then...

Playstation exclusives. That's the main reason I bought it at least.

Most people bought PS4 early on because it was the clear better deal. It was like a hundred dollars cheaper and had superior graphics and stability.

From there, people continued to buy it because of the larger player base as well as consistently being the less expensive option I think.

Playstation exclusives, while successful, are not even in most of the user bases library I'm pretty sure.

Definitely that as well. Especially when choosing which console to get during that launch period.

I was more or less referring to the quoted users sentiments considering he said that ps4 was what killed his interest in console gaming. At launch, there weren't a whole lot of exclusives that caught my interest. With architecture closer to that of a pc than before, and payed online, etc the main reason one like myself would still consider console gaming was exclusives. Even if the line up at the time was lackluster, PS has had a pretty good track record.

I'll give it its due, it has a library that will probably never be matched, but man was it a weak-ass console.

The Switch outsold the Wii U's lifetime sales in a matter of months despite only having 6 or so exclusives at the time(Zelda wasnt even exclusive to it and that was the biggest available for months). It was just a really innovative/accessible system.

I'd really really really like the PS5 to be BC with ps2 games. I get that's a pipe dream, but that sure would be great. So many fantastic games I never really got to finish or give a chance

It was $500

Mandatory Kinect at launch (wouldn't even run without the goddamned thing plugged in)

Mandated online check ins (at least at reveal, can't remember if it was a thing at launch)

No used games (at least at reveal)

Massive size that would take up half or more of a smaller TV stand or wouldn't fit under a TV on legs

Its no wonder it didn't sell. But the biggest nail in the coffin was the reveal that everyone hated and clowned the ever loving fuck shit out of for being such dog shit.

Literally even Sony clowned their ass

https://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA

By the end of Hour Zero of the Xbox One Reveal, the generation was such a forgone conclusion its not even funny. It was just cripplingly sad.

Don Mattrick is the worst thing to ever happen to the Xbox division.

Ps2 was the last real generation for gamers. Games were 50 bucks, no mandatory online, updates etc. The only bad part was memory cards.

Doesn't matter

Anybody who was going to buy a console at launch already made up their mind after that disastrous reveal.

They could've probably given away 3 million Xbox Ones at launch for free to random people and it wouldn't have done anything to help save the consoles chances

Thing is everything the PS2 did, TECHNICALLY the other consoles did it better. It's just the extremely deep and broad library made it the console of choice. When you got down to it the platform was outstripped in everything by the GameCube and Xbox (and I hated the Xbox but I'll admit it was doing things right that the PS2 just slept on).

The only people I know who bought XBOne are either Xbox fanboys or people who have tons of Xbox fanboy friends. I say this as someone who bought his XBOne to play with his friends only to realize they play total shit games all the time now and sold it.

That being said, I don't think PS4 is particularly better. I stuck with PC up until a year ago, bought a cheap PS4 Pro to play Spider-Man which was just okay. God of War was great, but every other exclusive I've played on PS4 hasn't impressed me.

Like if I had to get one I'd still go with PS4 but mostly cause it's less expensive.

I only bought an Xbox One initially because a co-worker was selling his(in 2015) for $250 with 4 games, a controller, and a mic so it was a deal I didn't want to pass up at the time.

I upgraded to an Xbox One X later on because I got a 4KTV and PS4 Pro barely qualifies as 4K capable. It's utterly embarrasing how bad the XboneX outstrips the Pro, as someone who owns both.

Oh hey going to my friend's house, he's got a PS2 too, let me put this cool game I unlocked everything in in its case along with the memory card. Glad I don't have to lug my whole system over there.
