ima just ignore OP entire point and say launch PS3 cause its BC to PS2 and PS1 lol
It probably would be the PS2 though. Lots of amazing titles.
Silent Hill 2,3 and 4, Fatal Frame 1-3, Resident Evil 4, Outbreak 1 and 2, Onimusha 1-4, DMC1-3, MGS2 and 3, Viewtiful Joe 1-2, Xenosaga 1-3 (greatly underrated games), Max Payne 1-2, GTA3-GTASA, Bully, God Of War 1-2, Ico, Yakuza 1-2, Persona 3 and 4, FFX and FFXII, KH1 and 2, KH CoM remix, Ratchet, Sly, Jak, GT series, Tekken series, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Okami, God Hand, Splinter Cell, NFS Underground series and on and on.
PS2 is the GOAT for a reason and imho it is the start of modern gaming as we know it in regards to design and production value as a lot of those ideas became pretty staple.
This is a generation I feel that will be chased for eternity as so many new IP, so many classic series.
