PS2 won handily. It had final fantasy, gran turismo, god of war, silent hill, numerous jrpgs, Twisted metal, metal gear, etc.
Xbox had halo,otogi, wreckless, JSRF, panzer dragoon, gunvalkrie, forza, prject gotham, and usually late ports of games that were a little crisper on xbox
You'd have to really, really like Sega to claim that xbox won

I love PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, PC gaming and Mac gaming from that era with equal enthuasiasm, many great memories from all whether playing alone, playing with others, watching older siblings play etc etc
What’s your diagnosis, doctor? Can I make it in the Journey Home? Am I too gay, not gay enough, or both? Give it to me straight, TYIA.

First of all, your post needs to be viewed in the context of the fact that you are claiming the PS2 somehow "lost" the gen despite being the best-selling console of all time. The PS2 more than doubled Xbox sales in the US (and the ratio is way worse if you consider worldwide sales). Everyone (westerners included) knew the PS2 won.
But let's extend the logic of your post out a bit. The Xbox One was a massive flop and Microsoft was completely Done Here after that...which says a lot about how people felt about the prior gen, according to you. That makes PS3 the clear winner over Xbox 360, which would also of course make PS2 the clear winner over Xbox.
We can see the culmination of this in the latest Xbox getting absolutely bodied by the PS5, getting outsold 2.7 to 1. I would argue that this is a representation of how people cumulatively felt about all prior gens, in aggregate. The sum total of everything Microsoft has done in gaming is that Microsoft is the loser. The bottom line is that gamers don't care about Xbox. They liked Microsoft bleeding money to provide a massively subsidized Gamepass, but that was never sustainable. As soon as the financial spigot was turned off and Microsoft asked gamers to pay something closer to the true cost of the service, gamers revolted. Microsoft's entry into gaming was a complete failure. Microsoft entirely lost the console war, and no case can be made that it was ever ahead.
This of course is the opposite of the PS3 having a "Pyrrhic victory," as you contend. How is it Pyrric when Sony went on to completely vanquish Microsoft in the following generations?
