I'm not talking month-by-month I'm talking about 2001, which was the first full year of the PS2 in the west. Games that the PS2 got EXCLUSIVE in 2001: GT3, FFX, Silent Hill 2, Ico, DMC, GTA 3, MGS 2, Jak and Daxter and others.

The PS2 had a crazy good first year if you think about it.

There were no other consoles on the market. FFX, Silent Hill2, DMC, GTA 3 and MGS 2 eventually became franchises that weren't exclusive.

And WHAT is the deal with exclusives? Do you feel you enjoy a game more when it's not on another console?

Looking at GAMES LINEUP, the PS2 and PS4 are comparable first year. Easily. Take off your rose-tinted glasses.

That has nothing to do with rose-tinted glasses (I only ever owned two of the games I listed anyway and didn't get a PS2 in 2001 but later). The PS2s 2001 was leaps and bounds ahead of the PS4s 2014. In 2001 the PS2 got a whole lot of games that in that year could only be played on PS2 and that are to this day still considered some of the best games of all time, most of what I see for the PS4 on the horizon in 2014 (and don't get me wrong I like PS consoles and I want a PS4) are games that are multiplat, crossgen and are being predicted to disappoint left and right already.

The one that seems to be wearing rose-tinted glasses is you.
