That's some of the worst reasoning ever. The PS2 ranks above the 360 by any reasonable standard

Outside of a huge library what was so special about the Ps2? The 360 gave us multiple sku's to increase affordability. It had revolutionary online experience and was the first console to innovate with online updates. Cross game chat, background music, media centre capabilities. There are many more and people forget the 360 (and Ps3 but it was later) have changed consoles forever. The Ps2 was a success due to its games, not its hardware.

Nothing. The PS2 isn't particularly important, but the 360 is even less so. As for your case for the 360:
1. More like a cop-out to be able to say that there is a price point within reason.
2. Online multiplayer existed before, most of the framework in question was already established with the Xbox.
3. Firmware updates? The PSP already did that. In many cases it's more of a nuisance than a benefit though.
4. Cross game chat isn't that special and may not even be relevant for the majority of gamers.
5. Background music? I guess that refers to playing music of your choice from the HDD. Xbox did that.
6. The media center stuff doesn't benefit gaming, quite the opposite actually.
And you said it yourself, the PS2's biggest plus point were its games. That's why it ranks above the 360

Actually the multimedia aspect of a console is very important. Can't believe you seriously think the Ps2 ranks that far ahead, it brought nothing to the table as those games would still have been released without the Ps2, though on the 2 technically superior consoles that gen. When cross game chat is universal next gen you'll understand why it was so important.
