Any sane person would choose the PS2. For every game in a genre the Gamecube, Dreamcast or Xbox had, the PS2 had three games, and over twice as many quality games over the other three.

With that being said, I choose the Dreamcast. Not because it featured better games per se, but because I was most into playing games then, and spent my best years on that console. Crazy Taxi, NFL 2K series, Shenmue, Resident Evil CODE Veronica, Jet Grind Radio, Ikaruga, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter III, Armada, Virtua Tennis, Guilty Gear X, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia II, MDK 2, House of the Dead 2, Seaman, San Francisco Rush 2049, etc. etc.

Anyone who grew up in arcades would and did appreciate what Sega created, the last hurrah of the arcade era, right inside your own home.



I agree with you 100%

 Yes, I understand. Perhaps I should rephrase. If we were to see which console had the greatest amount of high accumulated scores we'd see that the PS2 would be the lead, by a large margin. I know, we could argue that reviews are inherently biased as no one is completely objective, but taking the larger sample helps remedy that. I really wasn't trying to say anyone who hasn't chosen the PS2 made an illogical choice. Maybe if I change my original comment to have quotations around the word 'objective'. No offense to any of the defiant ones

Oh,  none taken, of course.  I do take exception to a post above calling me and others insane for personal tastes in games, but that's not you.  I'm sure that person would also call me insane for prefering RC Pro Am to Gran Turismo whatever, but again that's neither here nor there.

Obviously I think we could all concede that PS2 was not only the best-selling console of the generation with the most highly reviewed games, but that most people would probably name PS2 as their favorite console of last generation.  That said, it seems a lot of people here, myself included, are not "most people."  Which is fine (great actually). 

No game got more play time last generation than Smash. And you know what? Rogue Squadron II looked better than 360 games. GC FTW.

Objectively, PS2. Personally, GameCube. Same boat as a lot of people here it seems.

Ps2 > halobox>>>>>>>>purple purse with smash bros.

In my opinion, the best console of the last generation is the Dreamcast.

PS2 - mainly for its huge library of great AAA games, and JRPGS

Gamecube - i bought it just for RE games.

For me it was the Gamecube. I had the most fun playing the games on that system. It was great for multiplayer too and I played a number of memorable SSBM matches.
