What exactly is the PS2 "The Daddy" of? Even if you are a diehard Sony fan, wouldn't the PSX be "The daddy"

My favorite generation, or at least the one in which I have the fondest memories, is 8bit. So many great games, and fun was all that mattered. The whole graphics comparison cancer didn't really start until 16 bit, so all that mattered was really how fun the games were.

Some fond memories:

SMB3
Punchout
Yo Noid!
Kid Icarus
Megaman 2,3
Legend of Zelda

You don't understand the label, which has nothing to do with being a "die-Hard" Sony fan either. There isn't a console that has done what's it's done for console gaming.......... not yet at least. With this knowledge, it was nicknamed "The Daddy"!

Understand now?

Nope, still don't understand.  I can see MAYBE having that perspective if you were born after 1993.  The NES pulled the entire console gaming industry out of the grave.  The PS2 just expanded the market, which the Wii is doing now.  If anything, the NES should be "The Daddy" by that criterion.
