Was the PS2's Birthday Overlooked?

I almost forgot that this year my favourite console turned 20, I feel like it deserved so much better. So come to memory lane and let me explain how it deserved so much better than the little it got.

[Deathshadow90]

PS2 will forever be the top-selling console of all time. Its unlikely any future console will ever surpass its sales.

Need for Speed: Underground/Most Wanted
Midnight Club
Crazy Taxi
Socom
Devil May Cry
Splinter Cell
Hitman
Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts
Jak & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank
Sly Cooper
Guitar Hero
Okami
Bully
Yakuza
Spider-Man 2
Fatal Frame 2
Mortal Kombat: Deception
Tekken 5
Soul Calibur 2
Virtua Fighter 4
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

Would be nice if we got a PS2 Mini. With hardware getting older now it's good to have a newer version that works.

Hopefully one actually made by Sony, as that would be nice. I'm still a bit let down by the PS1 Classic Mini.

It would just disk read error or eat your game save lol.

Great list. I would like to add Burnout Revenge, Dark Cloud 1 & 2 to that pile. The PS2 is still my favorite PlayStation to this day, especially with the big three platformers that debuted in that era. I wish Midnight Club would make a comeback. I remember spending countless hours on GT4 when I was a kid.

[DonDon3000]

Ps1 is still my favorite, but yeah ps2 was epic

[YourMommySpoils]

Evil Dead games were my cup of tea.

[MWH]

The list goes on and on, it sure was a great generation.

That reminds me, I haven't played my PS2 in awhile. So many good memories with that console. I don't miss those cords with the controllers though

[YoungKingDoran]

Some good wireless options for ds3 and 4 these days though and with FreeMCBoot (~$5 memory card on ebay) you can use most standard BT dongles via usb port

[Skuletor]

Will have to check that out. Wonder how many controllers you can hook up with the BT at once. I currently use the 4 player multitap to play games like Def Jam Fight for NY and Timesplitters 2 with 3 other people.
