Think about it, it has the most support of gamers and the best games from every genre. It keeps getting good games while other systems have breaks between quality games.

The PS3 is more like the Xbox of last gen. It has a few quality titles, but not enough to keep you interested.

The Wii cannot relate to any past systems. It is trying to get casual users by making games that most hardcore gamers are not interested in. However, I cannot say I completely dislike the Wii becasue of the few great games that have come out on it. (Smash Bros Brawl, Zelda, Metroid)

How do you think this gen of games relates to past gens?

i dont think any systems the ps2 of the gen.

i think PS3= SNES and 360 =Genesis

Sega who had an ok console (master system) beats Nintendo in releasing a new console and it's really popular and has great games and nintendo who dominated the previous gen releases the SNES later but eventually the SNES ends up selling more.

i dont think the SNES had such a rocky start or so much hate as the PS3 but you get the idea

The 360's library is similarly varied but it, like all the other consoles this generation, comes no where near matching the PS2's sheer numbers and variety.

If it were it'd have a nice and great selection of JRPG's. Well, I wouldn't compare the 360 to the PS2 tbh, this gen sucks so far.

Blasphemy!

How dare you compare the PS2 with anything else but God! :P lol

But in all seriousness, the Wii would be the PS2 of this gen if it had just a tad more variety in their game instead of the main casual appeal....but no neither the PS3 nor 360 are newhere near the PS2

First I would like to point out that the ps2 is still going strong and selling well

Second I would like to say no console is the "ps2" of this gen except my bc ps3 which I play ps2 games on.

It doesn't have the sales nor the games...why games? Because most of the great games or multiplat And the 360's quality exclusives, I can match it with a PS3 quality exclusive...so no PS2 had sales and lots of great games you could only get on that system....

To be honest the PS2 is better than 360 in everyway exept graphics. So the PS3 is in a class of its own.

The Xbox 360 doesn't have enough platformers or action adventure games though.

You really can't make a valid comparison between this gen and last gen. Yes, the XBOX 360 was released a year before the competition, but that's where the comparison ends. While the XBOX had superior hardware to the other 2, it was never a more expensive console as the PS3 is. The PS2 lead the generation in sales. The 360 does not. The PS2 had the most inferior hardware last gen, in which the 360 does not. The XBOX had superior graphics among multiplatform versions, as does the 360. That doesn't support a role change.

Nope, the PS2 is the PS2 of this gen. It's still selling, and new games are still being made for it. A great RPG was just released a week ago. The name is too complicated, but it's an interesting game.

Why do people ALWAYS find the need to compare and find paralells to things?

The Xbox 360 is the Xbox 360 of this gen. :|

There is no PS2 of this gen, there is no XBox of this gen, and there is no Gamecube of this gen. This is a new gen, and new precedents are being set. Maybe last-gen, you could have said "PS2 is the new PS1", or "Dreamcast is the new Saturn", or even now, you could probably call PS3 the new Saturn, but that's about it.

Neither of those consoles can be compared to the Saturn. The Saturn had excellent hardware, yet horrible execution and support. The Dreamcast failed because it couldn't compete with the hype of the PS2. The Playstation 3 is nowhere near being as poorly executed or planned as the Saturn. Whether or not it was actually poorly planned or executed is debateble. It certainly has plenty of support.
