Nah, I personally had more fun with the SNES.joeblak

You beat me to it!

SNES is the best.

I was thinking of putting the SNES out there. I enjoyed the SNES overall during the time I played it probably just as much as I have the PS2. The reason I didn't bring the SNES up is because if I had to pick between the two of them right now to play, it wouldn't even be close. I wouldn't even have to think about it. So in that view the PS2 is the superior console.

SNES gets my vote.

Meh, I knew people would replace sentimentality and nintendoresurrectedthegenre with fun.

Playstation 2 owns it all.

SNES gets my vote.

most consoles sold != best, same goes for games.

PS2=best console ever
PS3=worst console ever

Bit unfair considering...

PS2 - Been out for 7 years
PS3 - Been out for 1 year.

The amount of fun I had with my PSX far out weighs that of the PS2. But the SNES would get my vote for best console evah, with the N64 getting an honorable mention...

The wii is this gen's ps2; appeals to the masses whilst having nearly no good games. The ps2 had nearly no good games, imo...Messer_Partei

I almost got a ps2, but realized that none of the games ever interested me. The ps1 had a few, but the ps2 was just a cluster of mediocre sports games and rpgs. As it stands, the wii has nothing. Granted that will change in the coming months, but it still has a steep ration of good games to bad games. Yes, I'm serious.

You are definately talking about another console. The PS2 had a large array of games.

im sorry but that title goes to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) because it single handedly saved gaming as we know it after the 1983 crash

Yes they did. None appealed to me. Their highest rated game was a tony hawk game (according gamespot)...I'm fully aware of their aaa titles btw. None of them held much interest with me. And this is an opinion thread so...

The PS1 and 2 is what made me go into PC gaming because it was so boring

Yeah I think it is and the sales speak for its self. I mean even in almost its eight year in the market, u still see ppl buying the system and it has brang so many great games to the market. The system has sold the most for any console to date and still selling like hot cakes and I think it will be around for a few more years until the next playstation 4 has hit the market. The ps2 is still doing very well in selling hardware and software so I dont see the ps2 leaving anytime soon.

As great as Playstation 2 was, if you denied yourself the experience of the Super Nintendo, you were truely missing out. Those who missed out on that great system, might say yes, but I won't. No, Super Nintendo. That was the best system ever.
