No console (so far) seems like the PS2 to me.

Wii has the sales but it's library lacks breadth next to PS2 and it just doesn't feel to me as dominant (perhaps inevitable due to the SD/HD split and sense of a fragmented market)

PS3 doesn't have the sales nor market dominance (so far)

360 doesn't have the sales nor market dominance (so far)



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Nope, PS2 dominated, thats more like the Wii this gen



The dude abides   

As far as I´m concerned, it´s the DS that is the closest to the PS2...not the 360, PS3 or Wii.



No, and the funny thing is that out of the five consoles it's probably the least like the PS2.

The Wii and DS have most of the market share, the PS3 and PSP have the SCEJ/A/E games and a lot of exclusives from Japan, while the Xbox 360 only shares some previous PS2 exclusives series with the PS3, but without the exclusives.

To be clear , the J man is talking about what each console brought to the table so no "PS3 is closest to the PS2 because sony made it"

 

Similarities:

1 year head start

Failure Rate

More third party exclusives than the rest

More AAA exclusives than the rest (based on metacritics)

Less features than the competition

External Memory Card/HDD

 

Differences:

PS2 was the weakest of its gen technically while the 360 isnt

PS2 was a god compared to the 360 in both First party/Third Party exclusives

Online play was not a big selling feature of the PS2 while with the 360 is.

No, sorry, PS3 is closet to the PS2 this gen. The fact that they are both PlayStation consoles made by same company alone trumps your entire argument



Around the Network

IMO we've reached a point in a new gen, where previous gen console standings doesn't mean anything anymore...And for those who relate Wii's success to PS2 should stop!!

Seems like he can:p wii has 6 according to gamerankings(includes resident evil 4) and 7 according to metacritic. Note that "cave" only has 9 reviews.
