Maybe, if anything comes along that's actually worth buying and isn't packed full of hardware that can't seem to perform the way even close to the way it's marketed.

pick 20
half of these are on ps3 and wii u
84/2 = 42
thats more than 20 lel
>Was a shit console casuals bought for DVD player
You forgot one OP
In retrospect it was pretty bad to be honest. Worst controller, worst hardware. youtube.com
your math is flawed sonegro
nope. stay fucking mad the PS2 is the greatest console of all time
How much is 84/2 then retard?
half is /4 retard, there's like 5 games on your list that are actually exclusive. more like sony shitstation 2 LMAO
84/4 = 21
still more than 20 LOL
>half is /4
even then, 84/4=21, still more than 20
They were released on PS2 well before a PS3 release.
>half is /4
Not sure if I follow
The truth is that the PS2 was in one of the best generations. The next was shit, and the actual one is lukewarm to say the least
Would the PS2 been less successful if it didn't have the DVD feature?
>dominant and powerful as the ps2
woahhh so this is the power of the ps2...
lol
>GAME 1
>GAME 2
>GAME 3
Wow it sure is rehash in there
How can someone be so mad about the best console ever created ?
I think Sega raped themselves.
>it d-d-d-doesnt count
>MUH DEFLECTION
That was quick.
>made the gamecube look like a shit tier kiddie console
Only Sonyggers actually believe this. And I owned a Gamecube and a PS2.
>full casual with the wii
Hate to break it to you, but the PS2 had far more casual shovelware than the Wii did.
No, because playstation is a natural choice for many people. The PS1 had CDs, but who cared about that other than developers? Yet it sold like 100 mill. I find it baffling that people are surprised that the world chooses the ps4 over the xbone even when you look away from all the blunders from MS. PS is just more popular and it's going to be like that in perpetuity. Even with the ps3, despite all the blunders the ps3 caught up with the 360. The 360 was the biggest fluke ever, only doing well because it wasnt five hundred and ninety nine US dollars
>I owned a Gamecube and a PS2.
Same, and the ps2 shit all over the GC there's absolutely no contest
But the 360 outsold PS3 for years
People care about price and games, not necessarily the brand. Sony had it with PS2 and PS4, but not with the PS3 until much, much later.
there are like 15 games on the Wii that AREN'T casual shovelware
GC had the best exclusives, PS2 was for everything else
>GC had the best exclusives
HAHAHAHAAHAHA
The golden age of gaming is long gone, there will never ever be another console as dominate as the PS2. Everything's gone to shit.
PS2 had over 3,000 games, the majority of which were shovelware. Go have a look.
Wii had plenty of good games, but of course you never played them/are intentionally generalizing so your point looks stronger. PS2 and Wii were very similar, they both appealed to a wide audience and had tons and tons of crap mixed in with some really good games.
>GC had the best exclusives
The most notable non-first party ones got ported later
PS2 had the best exclusives by sheer quantity
>Sony
>Better exclusives
Yeah bro, SOCOM was the tits
see
stay fucking mad nintendrone
>The most notable non-first party ones got ported later
And were inferior to their GC versions
But multiplats only count for Sony, right?
GC had the best exclusives, deal with it. PS2 still had more total games.
Man I just couldn't stop playing Sly 3 and Jak & Daxter 2 on my GameCube.
Oh and Kingdom Hearts 2 and Ratchet & Clank, too ! What great games those were.
>Exclusives
And what happened to
>Quality > Quantity
That also only applies when it's beneficial to Sony?
You Ponies are the best, It's impossible to tell which double standard you're going to fall back on, always entertaining.
gamecube was fucking bad, drone
>The most notable non-first party ones got ported later
But that only counts when it's not Sony's games, right?
>gets btfo
>tries to change the subject
fucking kek
>PS2 had the best exclusives by sheer quantity
wew lad
sony has always beat nintendo in quality and quantity though. Inb4 you try to act like the ps4 library doesnt blow the wii u the fuck out
>Still mad GC could to native 480p and PS2 upscaled 240-360p
But yeah, all those inferior multiplats were so great. And everyone remembers Sly 2 and not Smash Bros., right?
>Wii has good games
HA! Name ten. Don't don't say waggle shit like Donkey Kong Country Returns, the controller gimmick ruined them.
user, I was talking about GC to PS2 ports. HD ports and such don't count as far as this discussion is concerned
>Ps3 and Ps4 already existed when Ps2 came out, therefore, all the ported games were not exclusive in that specific period of time
>tries to change the subject
>Exclusives
>List has non-exclusive games
Try again, Sonypony.
...
>nintendo fans are autistic
yeah we already knew that, what's your point?
see
get fucked nintendron
And almost every single one was gimped on PS2 with the GC version both running and looking better
>Weebshit and multiplats
Yup, GC has the best exclusives.
Makes you wonder which console sold the most
>still hasnt named any gamecube exclusives
LOOL
Still, It just got better library than the DC around 2005/2006.
Gamecube is a joke btw. The only reason people here defend this shit is because this board is full of (underage) nintendo fanboys.
But it makes them no longer exclusives, doesn't it? How many PS2 exclusives got ported to the GC later?
For every good GC game the PS2 had 3 games of equal quality.
equal or superior*
FTFY
Gamecube is old. It counts as a retro console now. Anyone defending it isn't underage.
>could never get the good ending in Contra Shattered Soldier
Fuck the Illuminati trio, I just couldn't beat them.
I never said otherwise, but the PS2 had enough good exclusives and serviceable ports being released in a regular fashion to be considered a serious gaming platform. Meanwhile, the Wii's library always looked barren as fuck.
No More Heroes 2, Zelda SS, Xenoblae, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Animal Crossing, DKC, Monster Hunter Tri, Metroid Prime 3, Captain Rainbow, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Mario Strikers Charged, Red Steel, Sin & Punishment, Red Steel 2, Rune Factory Frontier.
There you are
>Zelda SS
you fucking degenerate
Yeah, instead of Prime you get... Killzone. People forget how much garbage and because everybody just emulates it nowadays people forget the terrible performance it had. I had both but people really overrate the PS2 in my opinion.
GC Exclusives:
1080 Avalanche, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing. Baten Kaitos 1, Baten Kaitos 2, Kirby Air Ride, Eternal Darkness, Chibi-Robot, Lost Kingdoms 1, Lost Kingdoms 2, Pikmin, Cutom Robo, F-Zero GX, Fire Emblem Path to Radiance, Geist,Wario World, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime 1, Metroid Prime 2, Odama, Pikmin 2, Pokémon XD, Mario Sunshine.
There're some.
look at all this shit. nintendrones really are delusional
Nowhere near as bad game as people make it to be (even if not a good Zelda).
If it hadn't the Zelda name on it it's likely people would like it better.
Also Zelda cycle and bla bla bla
>XD
kys
> I don't have what to say, so I call people names
Grow up kid
>actually acknowledging Gungrave as a good game

Rare as fuck
>not listing the inferior sequel
Even rarer
How do you have such patrician taste
I like the sequel but it's not nearly as well designed
But since your list has games that reviewers didn't like on it, add King's Field 4 too
I've only played a chunk of it so far but it's great so far and I hugely doubt the reviewers even got as far as I did
kill yourself if you think lost kingdoms and odama is good
>no splinter cell pandora tomorrow
DROPPED
Better on Xbox, like every other multiplat.
Xbox was the second most popular console of that era and it still didn't come close to the ps2. What caused the ps2 to be so massively popular? The dreamcast came before it, the xbox was significantly more powerful, both the dreamcast and xbox had way better online.
>no Final Fantasy X

DVD player fool. kids these days
If you don't like SS, replace it with Punch-Out. Good remake that understands the gameplay of the original and builds upon it and the presentation is fucking amazing. The visual characterization of each and every opponent is top notch, some of the best cartoony animation in any game.
If you ignore the waves of casual shit, the Wii is one of those systems with not a ton of worthwhile titles, but the ones that ARE worthwhile are definitely worth playing.
The Wii version of Resident Evil 4 is also pretty great and one of the few games that the motion controls work well with.
DVD player
cheap
all the games
the gamecube was great. wasn't as successful as the PS2 but still very good.
>Xbox was the second most popular console of that era
While we're at it, replace Red Steel 1 with the Trauma Center games. Don't know what user was thinking putting that on the list.
Everyone remembers God of War and MGS3, not SSBM
it got all those games when it became popular
>half is /4
>sniffles
>WRONG
>tfw gaming after the PS2 era
I don't want to wake up anymore.
A main reason for the dominance of the PS1 and PS2 was because Sony hit the point of creating a sort of infinite feedback loop where third-parties overwhelmingly went with Playstation, which in turn caused more and more gamers to go with Playstation over its competitors, which in turn made more third-party developers choose to develop on Playstation over other platforms. Some games were multiplat, but the difference in capabilities/hardware architecture between the two made this difficult/expensive if not impossible for the majority of games. Thus most of the quality games on the other consoles were either first-party or moneyhatted third-party games. This is as opposed to the SNES/Genesis era, where neither console hit a large enough wordlwide marketshare over the other to be the obvious correct choice for third-parties.
These days multiplatform development by third-parties is the norm rather than the exception, though- smaller devs, particularly Japanese ones, will pick the platform with the larger install base and stick to it, but the AAA heavy-hitters are going to be on everything unless they're paid not to be. A console hitting that critical mass of everyone buying it because everyone develops just for it because everyone's buying it etc etc could still theoretically happen, it's just much less likely because there's not as much incentive for it to happen as there was back when developing the same game for multiple platforms was more difficult.
>PS2: 150 million sold
>Xbox: 24 million sold
>Gamecube: 22 million sold
>Dreamcast: 9 million sold
By all rights the Xbox was the second most popular of the 4.
>No God of War I or II
For shame.
>Resolutions mattered in the gamecube era but it didn't matter in the wii era
IIRC ps2 was also, at launch cheaper than a dvd player, which made a lot of people purchase it solely on that fact.
With numbers like these no wonder they were so brazen with PS3.
