So because its had some successes it can have no failures?

no no of course there were failures. But it sounded like this gen was somehow worse then the last one. And this is simply not true. I have already found more games this gen that are worth playing than in the complete PS2 game library.

 

That goes completely against popular wisdom, which isn't to say that it is wrong, however I believe it is.

It seems obvious to me that last generation you played a more speculative roll than you have this one, which I can assume would make one believe that "this generation is so good, the last gen couldn't possibly be much better, so my opinion could be considered valid."

Believe me, my friend, if you were in the thick of things from a console perspective last gen, then you would certainly know that your opinion sounds a big rediculious. There is a vast library of games on the PS3, Xbox, GBA, and even Gamecube that can compare easily to the PS3 or even Xbox 360 of today if their current forms. Not only that, there was a large amount of niche titles for those of us who enjoy them, to play at nearly all times. Titles you would certainly have no interest in, but that's the crux isn't it. You are just looking at the big name titles in your argument. You have no knowledge or interest in the plethora of excellent niche games like Makai Kingdoms, PoR, or Shadow Hearts Covenant that dotted the landscape last gen.

Your writings sound like the quotations of one who only recently discovered the PS3 and is trying to comb through to cream of the crop software in an attempt to catch up, and finding them lacking.

You're completely wrong. Like in fantasty football, the key to victory is depth. The PS2 doesn't just have the marquee titles that we have come to know an love, but it also has 5 to 10 backup titles of high quality for all those who enjoyed that genre. The Playstation 3, however, has zero backup titles for most genres.

You're opinion can't be "right" or "wrong" but I'm informing you that I have seen exactly how your opinion has been formed in this case, and it lacks insight. It was formed under incorrect assumptions, and hasty observations. You can't learn about the PS2's library from gamerankings, or a year of playing. The Playstation 2 started with Onimusha, The Summoner, and Devil May Cry, unless you forget. It's nearly timeless, and certainly one of the greatest gaming libraries ever assembled. The PS3's library simply, is not.
