Since when is not cutting the price of hardware and software a good thing for consumers?
Sorry, nintendo make sometimes great games but there the most anti consumer company out of the 3.

Also, in the ps2 era gaming was a lot smaller then it is now, as a gamer it's a disgrace to try and decredit the beast the ps2 was

Ps2 was the most dominant console ever, and we prob will never see that happening ever again.

Let's stop this nonsense and keep on topic.

Ps: to my much suprise the ps4 has sold more games then any game system  ever(and still selling them)

PS2 had nothing even similar to phones, tablets and good portable PCs (all at the same time) to compete against. Yes, PS2 was impressive, but there is no denying that many of the buyers thought: I either buy a gaming machine AND a separate DVD player, OR I buy just this and use it for both. I myself had at least about 10 friends that said exactly that to me at the time.

You quoted someone who said 20-30m bought the PS2 who weren't even interested in gaming and saying it was 100% facts. Now you are saying they were interested in gaming but wanted a DVD player too.

It's incredibly sad to attempt to discount the incredible achievement of the PS2 in this way and at the same time opens the door for all other kinds of BS debates. I had an Aunt that only used the Wii for Netflix and Exercise. Not a gaming machine PS3/360 beat the Wii. It's silly. The PS2 sold far more games than the DS, it's a gaming machine.

I increasingly understand the people on this site that only stick to like one thread and why this forum is almost dead the more times I have to read things like this. If this line of discussion was on one of the more popular forums it would be devoured by ravenous hordes in minutes and most likely a thread about it would be locked.
