160mm sold (mostly in third world countries like India and south america where they bought it just to play FIFA), but little to no legacy at all in the "classic gaming" circles.

Some people still talk about GTA 3 and Metal Gear Solid 2 (which was ported to every console after it), and hardcore gamers like some niche titles like Ico and Shadows of the Collossus that normal people have never heard of, but otherwise you rarely hear people talk about the PS2 or its Games.

Nowadays you hear people constantly debating N64 vs Dreamcast, SNES, Gamecube extensively, even some Saturn, even some pro-PS1 shit talking, all with a sense of nostalgia.

However, you basically never hear people nostalgic about the PS2. Why is this?

I would argue it was a good console too.

TCR

and NO ONE talks about Xbox (OG) these days, other than Halo.

Gamecube clearly had the staying power for decades, yet it was considered a "flop" WTF

That was the gen that basically turned me off gaming. Sony’s approach of 5000k games everywhere pleases consoomer proles and the UMC liked having a DVD player. I get all that. Redditors still talk about the most random ps2 games you’ve never heard of and call them “bangers.” And every single game is single-player. All of them except idk Timesplitters.

They also managed to make JRPGs Worse.

To me it was another top-heavy console. GTA/MGS and maybe FF and fuck the rest.

Just some random spit-balling here but I have greater nostalgia for the N64 precisely because it was so unique in its operation (ex. cartridges) and game catalogue compared to the PC. PS2 and especially the Xbox were the beginning of the great merger of PC and console gaming. Consoles are now just glorified PC's rather than distinct gaming devices.

shadow of the colossus was the first game that really maed it as "art" and made people talk about elevating the medium. everyone who talks about games online knows that game, even if they didn't like it or think the video games as art debate is stupid.
