@ Shawnzee

back on topic I would say the PS3 is the closest to the PS2 for obvious reasons but the 360 is very similar to it also, tbh the xbox and PS2 were very similar at the time so this is no real surprise

well although the PS3 has many AAA titles, they "aren't" selling as well as the Wii

No, lol the 360 relies too much on fps and guys with space armours, online was not a big selling feature of the ps2

To be clear , the J man is talking about what each console brought to the table so no "PS3 is closest to the PS2 because sony made it"

Similarities:

1 year head start - True, although you could say the Dreamcast was the console with the headstart

Failure Rate - Was the PS2's failure rate 30%? Not sure on this...

More third party exclusives than the rest - Not true. Wii owns this spot.

More AAA exclusives than the rest (based on metacritics) - Again, not true. PS3 owns this one.

Less features than the competition - Arguable that the Wii owns again.

External Memory Card/HDD - Wii also has memory cards, doesn't it? Not too sure on this point

Differences:

PS2 was the weakest of its gen technically while the 360 isnt - True

PS2 was a god compared to the 360 in both First party/Third Party exclusives - Damn true

Online play was not a big selling feature of the PS2 while with the 360 is. - True

My thoughts.

yes, in terms of variety.

also, you people need to stop making these kinds of topic. Sony fans outnumber everyone else on this site.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

I don't think so.

The Wii is the PS2 of this gen. The weakest hardware. Online not a big selling point. Dominating both the 360 + PS3.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

Are people forgetting that the ps2 was the king of japan? Not to mention the king of the sales? king of exclusives? Biggest & best library (by a big margin according to metacritic).

360 is hopeless in japan. it's getting trounced by the wii in sales. And whilst its game library isn't shabby, it's a long shot from being near the ps2's library.

One thing that it has got going for it though is that many once ps2 exclusive games are now on the 360 as well as the ps3.

Overall though, you can't really make a convincing argument that the 360 is any more like the ps2 than the wii or ps3 is. Basically, you can make the same argument for any of the current gen consoles by cherry picking and that's all you've done.



I still think PS3 + 360 combo is the closest to the PS2, however, if I had to choose one console that is most like the PS2 it would be the 360 just based on third party AA/AAA exclusives



No, not even close.

No console is close to what the PS2 reperesented last gen.

The closest one is probably Nintendo DS.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
