I say Switch 1 but that’s almost entirely because I wasn’t around to witness PS2. Switch showed that, yeah, console gaming in the palm of your hand is possible going forward. In addition to the absurd catalogue of first-party releases (and the fact that it brought Nintendo from its lowest state to one of its highest positions), I find it hard to see how PS2 could even compare.
PS2 was nothing revolutionary IMO— it was just the fulfillment of PS1. PS1 brought gaming to the mainstream, PS1 got the third-party developers, PS1 is where all the big games on PS2 began. And while yes PS2 does have quite the stacked library, that wasn’t necessarily a consequence of anything PS2 did as much as it was a reflection of the overall industry.
