IMO.....

In terms of exclusives, no.

In terms of amount of games total, no.

In terms of market respect, no.

3rd Party support, no. The PS3 gets enough to where the 360 could never pull away as the PS2 did.

Failure rate, well I guess they're comparable.

All-in-all, it doesn't have to be at this point. But the PS2's market/fanbase is split. There isn't a console like the PS2 this gen. Some similarities, sure, but they'll probably never be a console like the PS2 ever again, in terms of console dominance.

The J man thinks that no one thinks a  system will get the dominance the ps2 had but the point of this is that without dominance in the equation , the 360 is very similar to the ps2.

@Bolded

The first two you have to understand that that is based on time. 360 has been on the market for 5 years while the ps2 has 10(Although the second point could show similarities to the wii)..........and what is market respect? Can I evaluate that?

I'd argue that the Wii has more similarities and more important ones too.

Wii - Market dominance, weakest specs, most varied library, critical acclaim, fastest selling console of all time

PS2 - Market dominance, weakest specs (of course, after the Dreamcast was discontinued), most varied library, critical acclaim, (last gen) fastest selling console of all time.

Now, is this to say that the 360 and PS2 share no similarities, of course not. But in terms of the presence in the market, and console similarities, theWii is closer to this gen's PS2 than the 360 IMO.

Read my first sentence in the OP.....sales is not a feature or something a console can bring to the table.

I read it, and nowhere does it say sales are excluded from the conversation, otherwise I wouldn't have used them. But for shits and giggles, let's take out sales. I still included other important factors when determining crucial similarities.

The 360 has it's similarities to the PS2, yes. Is it "this gen's PS2" (or close enough to it), no.

Where in the OP did I state as such......read the Title CGI... "the closest"......that means out of all the consoles this gen the 360 is closest to the ps2......that doesnt not mean the 360 IS close to the ps2
