Xbox 360 is clearly the best on that list.
Lol I'm joking.
If you can swim through the endless sea of shitty games long enough you'll accidentally come across a few good games, and since the PS3 backwards compatibility actually works just go with that and play the dozen or so games Sony has made in it's long history that are actually good.

This really is comparing apples, oranges and pears.
* The PS1 was created pretty much entirely because Nintendo screwed Sony on developing a disc based gaming console - in this era, Sony were willing to take chances because they didn't really know the market well, so they had to spread their effort. Some great games, a lot of shit ones.
*PS2 was such a leap forward in gaming that it held crushing market dominance over the gamecube and latecomer xbox - they had a huge range because all the 3rd party devs coded for the playstation first and foremost. A lot of great games, a forgotten mountain of poor ones.
*PS3 was beaten to market by the 360, so it was playing catchup from day one. Games these days are MUCH more expensive to make, and the industry as a whole has become much less risk averse. Some truly great games, some crap ones, but less games overall due to price of production.
The comparison of these 3 systems seems to mirror the history of console gaming as a whole over the last 15 years, so why limit the discussion to how shit the PS3 is? This seems an awful lot like trollbait. You know that the xbox fanboys will come running, and then the PS fanboys will defend, and then it's THAT thread again..
TL;DR - no vs threads

The PS2 was the highest selling console of all time, and has the titles to back it as the greatest console success story in history. It was definitely worlds better than the PS3 and the PS1, the library is just unmatchable.
I love my PS2 and PSX. I just don't think the PS3's great graphic system can live up to the fast Online Connection and brilliant games on the Consoles.
QT : I have to say.. PS2. It has some of my favourite games (Prince of Persia, Silent Hill 2,3,4,Shattered Memories, Soul Collector,Re4, Ico, Shadow of the Collosaus, and Half-Life).
The only reason why I still have my PS2 is because Sony decided to be little Dog-Fuckers and Decided to remove the Back-Wards Compatability from the Module of my PS3, Smarmy Cunts. Nah, Sony is just... Stupid, they wouldn't really scam me!...I hope....

Launch PS3 is the best, because it'll play PSX and PS2 games. I think they got rid of that with the Slim model (correct me if I'm wrong).
So you get all the classic PSX games, all the amazing PS2 games, and the PS3 games, several of which are downright awesome, and all the extra features like Netflix and online and shit. I see no downsides.

Well if you wanna get technical with it, I prefer my PS3 cuz it can play PS3, PS2, AND PS1 games.
Though the PS2 definitely had the better library, I still thoroughly enjoy my PS3 games.

System-wise? PS3 hands down. One of mine plays most all the games from all three systems, and both of them are also BluRay players letting me enjoy all my favorite movies in true high definition. Plus with the PS3, I can go on PSN and download tons more games, some nostalgic from the PSX/PS2 days, some newer.
Game Library-wise? I'd probably go with the PS2, though that is a tough choice between both the earlier systems. The games do of course look better on the newer system, but I've never been a graphics whore, just considering graphics a nice bonus. But where the PS2 games did shine over the PSX is with sandboxing. I've spent many a day and night just cruising around my Vice City, sometimes looking for mischief, sometimes just relaxing to the radio and enjoying the scenery.

TO be quite frank, gaming itself is a pretty young thing so I would have to say that the consoles, especially playstation, reflect upon one generation of gamers. with the PSX ( I refuse to call it otherwise) it was baby steps for what was then considered "next-gen gaming" 3d graphics and actual music instead of MIDI type songs. The PS 2 kicked in refined and with amazing 3'rd party support resulting with one of the best consoles of all time. About the PS 3 ,along with everything else nowadays, there is only one thing to be said... The hardcore gamers of the PS 2 became the casual kid possessing gamers of today and that why all the games that come out now are 5 hours tops to finish. so to sum up...
PSX - Great games, shitty technology
PS 2 - superb games, great technology
PS 3 - Casual games, superb technology
So for me its PS 2 all the way in the first place... and about the other two I would have to say its equal since both have advantages that can't really make them bad, but also have flaws which hold them back as being great which leaves them at good... but for the PS 3 we can blame the developers so its ps 2, ps 3 and psx in that order.

I have a release "fat" PS3, so for me, they're all the same thing. Hell, I used to play more PS2 and PS1 games on my PS3 (cause with "infinite" save cards, why not?) than I did PS3 games. I still like to replay my old games a lot, but there are enough PS3 games I enjoy enough to make it more or less even.tidus1661 said:
Also, my old PS1 was glichy as hell. How was that better?
The PS2... I can't deny that that was one of the best game machines ever made. Nothing beats the PS2 for a huge library of quality games.
PS3, you can dl PS1 games and play them on it, mean while my PS1 and PS2 sits in the corner looking all sad
