I think it’s really close. The PS2 is such a legendary console because it has an abundance of great third-party and great first-party games. Titles like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War II, Precursor Legacy, Going Commando, and Up Your Arsenal really elevate the library. And don’t forget games like Twisted Metal Black, Sly Cooper, and even Killzone — which I still say is unfairly maligned.
I would argue the PS2 was the first (and last) PlayStation console where the collection of Sony-published games actually competed with that of third-party publishers.
