That's like saying switch succes sales numbers in region x doesn't count because it is a hybrid.  Now it gets a lot of games and we shouldn't count them =p?  Digital distribution wasn't a thing on PS2 because Sony didn't care about it while consoles like xbox had it.  Sure switch may have many small games like sega ages but PS2 had also +100 collections of sega ages/namco etc collections

Agreed.

There were plenty of budget PS2 retail releases that were as lousy as the worst of the Switch's digital indie releases, and I distinctly remember seeing god-awful-looking games for $0.25 in the bargain bin. Digital wasn't an enormously viable option in the sixth gen. That didn't mean we didn't get games that should've been digital-only releases. That just means that a lot of them got shitty retail releases instead.

I bet there are way more shovelware games on the eShop, than there were in the PS2 bargain bins, simply because of the ease of putting a game on a digital storefront. But I agree that a sizable chunk of PS2 games were shovelware. At least 20%, but I really have no clue. I'd have to go back and count. But that would be a massive undertaking.
