without a PS1 there wouldn't be an xbox 360 or PS2

so should it be ranked higher than them?

according to your logic yes

Why wouldn't there have been a PS2 or 360?

Sure there would of been.  They just wouldn't of been made by Sony or Microsoft.

They would of had different names.  The Sega Dreamcast could of just as eaisly took on the role the PS2 took on had the PS2 not existed.

the market won't have grown that much

SEGA would still be there

Micrsoft entered BECAUSE PLAYSTATION was dominating

so why is PS1 below them?

Why wouldn't the market have grown that much?

What did the PS2 do that expanded the market?

Can you even name one thing?

I doubt it.  It didn't do anything except be the most popular system at the right time.

The market would of expanded just as much.  Dreamcast or Gamecube would of cahsed in... and inevidably a third console would of eventually came in as well.  Online was a HUGE feature of the Dreamcast... and if the Dreamcast took off it would of made the 360's "big changes" pointless because the Dreamcast already had that... at launch.

The 360 and PS2 didn't bring anything new to the table that wouldn't of been added on anyway.  They didn't disrupt the scene in any way and bring in something new.

For all it's accomplishments the PS2 was nothing more then a PS1 that was upgraded technically.
