Initiating obnoxious fanboy mode:

If PS2 was boosted by COVID, had a portable version, and two more years before its successor launched, it would have sold a billion units minimum. Anyone who disagrees is delusional. Software sales without piracy could have hit 10 billion. The facts don't care about your feelings.

Switch is the spiritual successor of Wii, DS, and PSP, and yet it could barely manage outsell the DS despite the much longer lifecycle, COVID, and all of these cheap cheat codes. What a piece of shit!

Wasnt it boosted by the DVD player, hahaha?

This myth was debunked by PS2's software domination. And it's a feature, not some temporary outside influence that by pure luck one hardware could capitalize on and the other couldn't.

Personally, I think piracy gave the PS2 a much greater hardware boost than its DVD player, but both "boosts" pale in comparison to what portability and COVID did for Switch.

About time people accept that Playstation gamers play games!
