Which Do You Consider More Successful: PS1 or PS2?

[firebush03]

Motivated by @curl-6’s Xbox threads, it appears that the overall consensus is “more hardware sold =/= more successful.” That said, which would you consider as being the more successful console for Sony?
- PS1 built a brand, established major third-party relations, and did the unthinkable feat of outcompeting Nintendo at their own game... and by a wide margin.
- Meanwhile the latter went on to sell over 160 million hardware units (even with a more competitive landscape now that Microsoft had entered the arena), and simply did everything that the PS1 significantly better. And while more commercially successful, it did give rise to an arrogant Sony during the initial years of PS3, leading to a major fall off in the overall PlayStation brand.
