Well I for one wouldn't bash a console based on experience alone. I'll have to make sure I at least played 50-75% of its highly regarded games before I judge. And by played, I mean spending a good amount of time to have a valid opinion about that game.

If you ate a slice of pizza and it tasted off, would you eat the rest of the pizza? 50-75% of PS2's library would consume a lot of my time and energy, and evidence thus far indicates it would be wasted. I've played most of its highest rated and praised titles, the majority let me down.

Sounds like something I would say about a small developer or a group of designers that disappointed time and time again. Not the PS2 (or any console for the matter), which is merely a medium that welcomes all the various developers and publishers alike. The game's quality is irrelevant to the console it's being made for.

Games of a certain era and console tend to have similar trends and styles. Those of the 6th gen do not appeal to me much, even GCN and Xbox didn't do much for me, and they at least had the likes of Halo and Metroid to hold back the tide of third party mediocrity.
