I realize this is a very subjective, general question. I also realize this will make Microsoft, Sega, or Nintendo fans go up in arms.
But the more and more I look at my growing library of Playstation 2 games as well as the games I don't even have yet, the more I begin to see it overtake what I used to think was the greatest console ever, the NES. In fact, I see that the PS2 and NES have a lot of similarities.
The sheer number of games released are staggering. The variety of gaming genres represented is amazing. The amount of quality games released is also stunning. The PS2 also contains most of the niche genres, like shoot-em-ups and rhythm games. Import games are also well-represented, as the PS2 is basically the console to have for those interested in shoot-em-ups and fighting games.
I also see the PS2 as the console that sparked interest from casual gamers. Similar to what the NES had with Super Mario Brothers, the PS2 had Grand Theft Auto 3.
I also look at the controller. Few see the PS2 controller as heavily flawed. While my personal favorite is the Saturn pad, the PS2 controller has to be my second favorite.
What do you guys think? Could the PS2 be the greatest console ever? Possibly better than the NES?
