Xbox 360, my saviour in the current gen

Too many shooters sure,, but even the PS4 is not quite on the combined level of PS3 and 360 that gen, still a ways to go IMO: so so many great PS4 games are remakes of PS360 titles!

PS2 though is such an amazingly high level of console that nothing will touch it ever. It is not only the zenith of Sony, but the zenith of home consoles as well IMO.

PS2 doesn't have the quality of games available on PS3. Most PS2 games would now be considered average JRPG's, while PS3 had evergreen games like Infamous 1&2, Killzone 2&3, Resistance 1 to 3, GOW 3, Uncharted 1 to 3, Gran Turismo 6, Demon's Souls and that's just the exclusives. It also was the best gen for multiplatform games like Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Devil May Cry 4 and DmC, Dark Souls, NFS Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, Burnout: Paradise. PS2 has only a few games that still hold up today, the God of Wars, the Devil May Crys and the GT and NFS Undergrounds and Most Wanted. Its not close.

It's no wonder you cannot appreciate the PS2: after all, you were about 7 y/o in 2005, which is perhaps its peak year.

That aside, our tastes are a bit too different for me to even present a lengthy argument. In my opinion for example, Assassin's Creed is a terrible and vapid franchise throughout, while Metal Gear Solid 3 handily beats absolutely any 7th gen game... and 8th gen for that matter.
