I still would love for someone to post all the amazing "AAA" titles the PS1 and PS2 had in their 8th year on the market.

I've already done a Google search myself, and the results ain't pretty. A port of a Japanese DBZ game from 1995 is the PS1's highlight, and the PS2's highlight is a port of a 4 year old GBA game... KH Chain of Memories.

Persona 3 FES, Persona 4, Yakuza 2, Silent Hill Origins, and DBZ Infinite World

It's also not about the 360 being supported so far for eight years, it's that the PSX and PS2 received continued support well after the release of the next console.  PS3 was released in 2006.  God of War 2 came out in 2007.  The PS2 was still being supported with good games in 2008 and while fewer, 2009 and even 2010. 

We'll see how many good games are published on the 360 in the next two years.  We'll also see how many good first party titles are published. 

Oh ok, so just like the Wii, there are zero games coming out for the 360 beyond this year after its successor is launched, right?

FFXIII Lightning Returns, Dark Souls II, Titanfall, Destiny, Wolfenstein, Dragon Age Inquisition, just to name a few are some big titles coming out in 2014 for the 360, in addition to all the yearly releases like Madden and Fifa and the next COD inevitably.

GoW2 came out at the very beginning of 2007 just after the launch of the PS3, and that was last major AAA first party exclusive the PS2 saw, so that means the 360 is being supported just as well as the best selling home console of all time was after its successor was launched.
