Didn't know the critereas for best console where dependent of your preferences. This way it's hard argument when you can change your argument to fit an agenda.

 

For all you say owning a ps2 must have been a nightmare for you.

Shocker, liking one console over another is based on preferences?

The point is, PS2 wasn't a great console for me: too expensive for what it is, weak hardware and only two controller ports. Couple that with the lack of fun local multiplayer games and yeah, I went with GC instead. I paid €100 for a GC with Mario Kart: Double Dash and a Zelda collector's disk (Ocarine of Time, Majora's Mask and demo of WW). That's super cheap.

I like action adventure games and the GC had that on lockdown with Metroid Prime 1 & 2, WW and TP.

Shocker is that just now you are saying it's your preffered console, and that is fine... but before you were implying the console was the best period.

If you weight how much less the adapter and extra controller were for PS2 compared to Nintendo controllers or worst yet the cost of the game than you can't say with a straight face that GC was cheaper to have a great time.

Pac-man was a very fine game for fun local co-op.

 

I love Nintendo for local co-op, the problem nowadays is making friends come together to even play those games.
