There weren't very many at the time. I would say the PS2 has: -The best gaming library. Look at metacritic, IGN, Gamespot or any other review site. -The least haters. I would say that 3/4 of HD Console owners hate the Wii. Very few people hated the PS2. -The best value. That's just my opinion. It has the best sales of any console to date and the best market share in a generation of any console to date. There was really nothing to hate about it. It was affordable and it was quality. It was the first console to include a DVD player. Sure, it may not have had the hardware of the Xbox, but on every other measure, it was better. It did not ridicule gaming, did not abandon its audience, just set out to make the best gaming experience possible at the time. I say it succeeded. Over 100 million people agree with me. |
The best selling console does not mean it isnt hated. if that were true the wii is selling fantastically and will continue to do so does that mean noone hates it? hell even some wii owners hate the wii, but thats just an example.
What im trying to point out is there are far more ps2 haters than there are dreamcast haters. Did u hear people who owned the ps2 say the dreamcast is a pile of steaming........
ps2 constantly failed through DRE and Power supply being faulty on the earlier models. never heard much of those problems with the dreamcast...maybe there were but nothing compared.
IMO Dreamcast was a technically sound piece of hardware with a great set of games and great features. Sega is an oldschool game/hardware maker so it still had a lot of respect.
