Why not a poll?

Yeah, I was thinking this.

But anyway, PS2. Although PS1 has more nostalgia value, the sheer number of kick ass titles on the PS2 wins it.

I prefer a head count.

Also, the format of this welcomes more discussion.

I vote Playstation 2. It had greater variety, more games, and is probably the greatest system of all time.

I'm on board with saying PlayStation 2 is the best console due to the amount of games it has.

Perhaps, although I am voting for Playstation 1.
1) Expanded the industry by leaps and bounds
2) The place where new franchises were being born (Crash Bandicoot, Grand Theft Auto) and some old ones being revised (Metal Gear series, Final Fantasy).

You should have added a poll, but by far Playstation 2. Hands down.

I'm voting for the PS1. Had so many classics. I also preferred the PS1 RPGs over PS2 RPGs.

Neither are the greatest consoles ever in my opinion. They're up there though.

Playstation 2. Make a poll for the next bunch of brackets. Or just ask for this thread to be destroyed after counting up the votes, and make a new one with a poll.

Both excellent consoles with their share of must-owns, but the PS2 edges out the PS1 on sheer volume for me.

PS2. It's one of the greatest consoles ever.

Also, do a poll from now on, we can still have discussion. It just makes YOUR job easier in tallying the votes.
