The original PlayStation launched today -- that's the 3rd December at the time of writing -- in Japan 25 years ago. Since that day, Sony's video game brand has been a dominant force worldwide. Sure, PlayStation has had its sticky moments -- the early life of the PlayStation 3 immediately comes to mind -- but there's simply no disputing the impact that PlayStation has had not just on the gaming industry, but on the lives of people like us and people like you -- people who simply enjoy playing video games.
Obviously, Push Square would not exist without PlayStation, and so we do have to be thankful that the brand continues to be a juggernaut in its space, giving us plenty to write about week after week. But still, it's crazy to think that PlayStation has been around for a whole 25 years. All of us here on the site were just kids when the PSone hit the market, but we've stuck with Sony's systems through thick and thin.
Whether it's the pure escapism of immersing ourselves in a gigantic role-playing game, getting together with pals for the sake of friendly competition, or just an easy way to unwind after a long day at work, gaming's a hobby that deserves to be celebrated -- and for so many of us, PlayStation is the key to it all.
Over its 25 year history, PlayStation has produced six different systems -- four home consoles and two portable devices. Next year, it'll reveal its seventh, with the PlayStation 5 finally stepping out of the shadows. But which PlayStation is your favourite? Maybe you have fond childhood memories of the PSone, or perhaps you think that the PS2's library simply cannot be beaten. Is the PSP unfairly pushed to one side? Did the Vita deserve better? Was PS3 the best of the bunch, or do you think PlayStation has peaked with the PS4? Vote in our polls, and then give us a good reason in the comments section below.

PlayStation OG was my first ever console, and I've owned every Sony console since.
I think PS4 is probably my favourite, though. Maybe there's a bit of recency bias there, but I genuinely think the PS4 has offered up some of the best games ever made, and I personally believe that gaming as a medium has only gotten better with time.
I still remember going to Dixons on release day in September 1995 to get my PlayStation. It was horrible waiting almost a year to get my hands on one. So glad those days are pretty much a thing of the past.
I joined with PS3 when U2 came out and itβs been nothing but hits since then!
My parents did originally get my a PS1 before returning it and getting me a GameCube the year it came out, so maybe if theyβd have stuck with the ps1 my thoughts would be different!
i brought a PlayStation with FFVII in 1997 and never looked back
i saved for so long to buy it and when i worked a paper round, ball boyed at a local 5 a side and saved up all my pocket money and i remember having the biggest grin on my face when i walked in Woolworths to buy it with my Dad
the PS1 was the first system i ever brought with my own money and you know the old saying "you never forget your first"
The first PlayStation was my first. Got it for Final Fantasy VII in 1998. Favorite is probably the PS4 due to the library and QoL improvements over the previous generation, but I do have a fat PS3 with hardware PS2 bc, and that deserves a mention too, even with some design flaws regarding cooling and ventilation.
It may well be recency bias but honestly I think my favourite is the PS4.
It's not been perfect (and the fan noise on the pro still does my nut in) but the game library is exceptional. It's been a brilliant generation that has only increased my lifelong love of games.
I'd probably rank them PS4 > PS2 > PS3 > PS1 > PSP > Vita.
The PS2 is still my favourite, the original Playstation changed my gaming landscape in the mid 90s and birthed some of my all time favourite series of games but the PS2 was what kept my playing during a time when I was starting to get a little bored of it all
My favorite console it's the original for nostalgic reasons but I think the best one was the PS3 with tons of exclusives too bad most of them were under look and it had the ability to play PS1 games, long life to the king of consoles
PS1 was my first Playstation console, and it's still probably my favorite home console of all time.
PS2 isn't far behind, and is probably my second favorite home console to date.
Never owned a PS3 (very little reason to), and the PS4... is alright. It definitely has more to offer me than the Xbox One.
In terms of how much I enjoyed them, I'd probably rank my Playstation consoles as such:
PS1 > PS2 > Vita > PS4
The PlayStation 2 is what got me into gaming. PS2 all the way for me.
It took a while - but the PS4 has become my all time favorite system. So many great games - Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Last Guardian - to name a few. But what really set it apart for me was PSVR. I got it when it first came out - complete game changer. The PS1 will always hold a special place in my heart though- Crash, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Tomb Raider, Gran Turismo, Twisted Metal, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII- that was the dawn of 3D graphics and completely changed the gaming landscape forever. Can't wait for the PS5 - day 1!
Ps2 was my first but PS3 was when I've started to become to game a lot more and have a lot of good memories but my Vita is starting to take over as well as my Ps4.
Waiting for the Ps5 to take over.
vita was my favourite but woefully neglected, first Sony console was PS3 although played plenty of games on shared friend and family consoles, earliest playstation memories were, FFVII, Baldurs Gate, Abe's Odyssey, Tekken Tag Tournament.
PS2 all the way. Sure, the PS4 has some great games but itβs also lacking things like good Tony Hawk games and no first party platformer was as good as Jak and Daxter. Iβm mostly a local multiplayer guy so Iβve barely played with friends online on the PS4 and the decline of local multiplayer is really sad.
1: PS5
2: PS2
No I cant think of anything more to say, thank you.
Getting home from Toys R Us with the original PlayStation and a copy of Tekken 2. The graphics blew my little 12 year old mind!! It was the only game I could afford for about a year but was amazing nonetheless. Had every one since with the PS2 being top dog but the PS4 not too far behind at this point.
Also fondly remember the original Gran Turismo being released. Came out the right after my birthday and I spent an entire summer with it. I had notebooks full of notes and tunes trying to shave a couple seconds off my lap times. Great game, great memories
PS1 was the best with games it was RPG heaven. Complete games and my favorite games.
-Legend of Dragoon
-Koudelka
-Parasite Eve 2
-Final Fantasy 7/8/9
-Metal Gear Solid
-Legend of Legaia 1/2
-Dino Crisis 1/2
-Resident Evil 1/2/3
-Saga Frontier 2
-Twisted Metal World Tour
-Breath of Fire 3/4
-Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1/2/3
-Syphon Filter 1/2/3
The funny thing about this with less games on the PS1 i had so much fun. No stupid questions about playtime, FPS, Graphics. Just plain and simple fun relaxtion. Now there are so many great games but i just get less out of them and there are so many maybe too many. Its quality over quantity.
The biggest dissapointment with the latest consoles is release first fix later. We may have great games but there are too many big messes. I think there are no games released without a patch.
Maybe the Limited Run Games and MGS5 complete edition. Its a pity i know that games wont be playable in their best way in the future. Plus digital is renting and dont get me started on streaming paying for air.
Got the original playstation when i was just a wee little child with Crash Team Racing and Tomba along with Tony Hawk Pro Skater and remember spending the entire night up.
My favourite console has to be Playstation 2. Final Fantasy 10, GTA San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 2-3, Bully, Kingdom Hearts are some of my favourite games of all time and i played those in my teen years when i realised i truly love gaming and i will never stop.
Owned every Sony console from 1-4 along with the PSP, will definitely be getting the PS5 and happy birthday to both playstation and myself and cheers to several more memories:)
My first playstation is psone, I have all playstation home console and portable. My favorite is psone because nearly everything is new there, going from 2D to 3D is a big innovation unmatched by everything else I think, from the first time I play tekken, ridge racer, and metal gear solid I'm hooked. And ff7 still my fav rpg ever. Beside 3D there's also amazing 2D games on psone like street fighter alpha and my fav metroidvania, castlevania sotn.
My second fav ps console is ps4, with my least fav is ps3.
Fav is impossible. I can tell you would be last 4 the big 4 main consoles. After that its just too dang hard to decide. Too have profoundly fond experiences with the other 3. You could put them in any order i think.
I've had all generations of PlayStation including both the PSP and Vita and I've got fond memories from them all. PS4 is probably my fave though because Geralt of Rivia.
My first was the original, and my favorite was the PS2. Many of my favorite games that still hold up well are on that system.
Sega Genesis was my very first home console, bought for me in 1992 (not counting the OG Gameboy I got as a comforting gift after my mum died in 1991). I played the Genesis right up to the day I bought my PlayStation 1 in 1999 for Gran Turismo 1.
I remember being amazed with it's CD music visualization capabilities and played numerous game magazine demo discs, borrowed games, whatever I could get my hands on. I bought the PS2 in 2001 and GT3, GT4, Ratchet & Clank, Need for Speed Underground, Colin McRae Rally 3, Sonic Mega Collection etc. were always in my console. Some idiot broke into the house and stole my precious PS2 and all my games and I was heartbroken for a while, until I was gifted a replacement used PS2 by my cousin. I never had a PS3 because at the time of its release I was dealing with my grandmother's and uncle's deaths, and had no real interest in gaming, and then was hit with some financial constraints that negated anything not absolutely essential. I returned to PlayStation with the PS4 that I now have in 2015 and I love the experiences I've had on it thus far. Even though I don't have nearly as much opportunity to game as I would like, I will be sticking with PlayStation when the PS5 comes out, but I'll wait a year or two after launch before I upgrade.
@Claude I still play mine at least three times a week. The Fat PS3 Mk1 was the best version of the PS3 and I play three generations of PlayStation on it with a grin on my face.
My first Sony console was the original PlayStation, and I have a number of happy memories tied to it. But the PS2 remains my favorite. There were so many great games in that library that remain solid gaming experiences today.
That said, Iβve had a blast with the PS4.
If every PlayStation was set up running one of its top games in a single store what would you purchase. The only correct answer is the one that looked the best! That is PS4!! PS4 has so many great titles I don't have time to put in on my old consoles I have packed away. But yeah I would play them if I didn't have so many new games to play. I continued to play my PS3 till about early 2015. Now I have a back log of PS4 games.
My first ever console was the Atari 2600, in the PS1 era I had a Saturn, then Gamecube in the PS2. After the Wii, the cheap PS3 Super Slim brought me back to gaming really, but I think I've enjoyed PS4 the most.
My favourites are a tie between ps3 and psvita. (both also are my favourite home console and portable console in general followed by the dreamcast and the switch respectively.)
My first playstation console was the psp, I grew up with nintendo. My first playstation home console was the ps4 at launch.
Have fond memories of playing FF7 and Tomb Raider on PS1, Vice City on PS2 and lots of exclusives on Vita and PS3 but my vote went to PS4 after taking nostalgia out of my vote!
It's the 5th anniversary of the free PlayStation 20th anniversary theme I've used on my PS4 this whole time.
@KratosMD I cant agree quality over quantity. Same as quality of finishing the games which are way worse in this last generation.
Even the smaller/smallest games need patches. So the size of games does not apply every time.
Final Fantasy 7/8/9, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Koudelka, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil, Tony Hawk they worked and they left a lasting impression on me there arent many games around that do that besides the first party titles.
And there are many great games now dont get me wrong i love Aloy, Ellie, Drake, Kat, Joel, Nariko, Cole, Delsin and many more. Only the horrible optimised games annoy me. Now its more about quantity over quality.
I was 5 years old when my mom got with my stepdad and he had a PlayStation 1, got so hooked on Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Croc,... That's were it all started. Those were good times.
I saved up for the PS1 and bought it without any games. That's how much I wanted one. I played demo discs and hit the local Blockbuster until Christmas finally arrived and I actually got some games for the thing.
I think PS2 just about edges it for me, but they've all been great, which is why I'm still here to this day.
Its hard.all of them.but ps1 and was special.word up son
The PSone introduced me to Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy (the best ones), Resident Evil, Command & Conquer, Tekken, Wipeout, Armored Core, Vandal Hearts, Xcom, G-Police, Castlevania, Rollcage and so many other amazing classics.
It still has the best version of classic Doom even to this day. And it had the best video game magazine ever created with one hell of a demo disc to look forward to each month. The PS4 is great, no doubt, but PSone is still king for me.
Played the PS1 a lot at friends' houses but PS2 was the first PlayStation system I owned and still my favorite (PS4 is a very, very close second). Tons of great games in every genre, great new IPs and most of all it was still a time when you could get good light-gun games, which is a genre I really miss.
Of course, I will admit this is me discounting remakes/remasters and just going based on new IPs and new entries in previously established series. Objectively speaking if we count re-releases PS4 is the top dog. RE 2 received the best remake of all-time, Ratchet & Clank and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are also way up there. The Last of Us and GTA V are obviously better on PS4 than PS3. And the only place to get all the mainline Uncharted games is PS4. Mix that in with stuff like Spider-Man, the premier baseball games in MLB The Show, Gravity Rush 2, inFamous: Second Son, Street Fighter V, a fantastic reboot for God of War, a great new IP in Horizon: Zero Dawn and pretty much every third party game, indie or AAA, and while I still go with PS2, I can easily see why people make the case for PS4.
I think PS3 was my favorite. It pulled me away from the annoyances of PC gaming and introduced me to the qualtiy of blurays. In general, I have great memories of the library. It also felt like the first major step up in consoles since the Dreamcast or Xbox.
Similar stories about PSP. I skipped the PS1 in favor of the N64, and I skipped the PS2 in favor of Dreamcast/Xbox.
Vita was awesome, but we all know where that went. PS4 has an amazing and probably the best library, but it didn't feel as big of a deal as PS3 did. There are still somethings I prefer to the PS3 over PS4.
So many great stories here Nice read. I was a PC gamer till I got a PS2 in 2005 and realised that consoles aren't evil. Played MGS3- blew my mind! I pre-ordered a PS3 from the US when it was available and paid 2 times as much as when it finally arrived in Europe. Sold it a while back as slow downloads and game installation were killing me. PS4 all the way
@KratosMD So after more then 20 years it looks better. Controls are upgraded tech increased, bigger budgets, teams. Where the new 3D tech was introduced without a blueprint for controls.
And everything looks better now and plays better now is a given. As it should 20 years with all the points made above.
Dont forget the startingpoint for 3D came from the early consoles the PS1 was a groundbreaking console. Even the most simple games can leave a bigger impact then best looking advanced looking games around. I stand by my point PS1 is for me the best console around. And that games are more advanced does not mean they can or should be released as a broken mess too fixed at a later date if they can be bothered. Ill take THPS 2/3 over the last one any day of the week even with the outdated graphics and controls.
PS Vita is the best, because it can play almost all of the (IMO) best PSOne games (in my book it's all the great action adventure games - the RE's, the Parasite Eves, the Tomb Raiders, the Fear Effects, the Dino Crisis', MGS, Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare, Nightmare Creatures II - much more emphasis on the action in that one I admit, not an easy game at all IMO, Evil Dead Hail to the King etc.), and then its own library is vastly underrated IMO.
But of the home consoles of course the original one, followed by 3 and 4 (never really liked 2 - PSP is quite good, though).
Been on board since the original, but I got that a few weeks after launch. Since then, I've been on board day one with every system.
Each new one becomes my favourite, simply because the games get better and better.
I got the OG Playstation, of course I had the N64 before, but seeing some mates talk about FFVII, I had to get it.
I missed so many great games on the PS2, I dont think I ever really appericated it, Tenchu 3 is easily my top PS2 game.
Voted as my favourite Playstation, the PS3, I could play my PS1 games on, picked up those missing PS2 games, Uncharted, TLoU, Persona 5 thankfully came out on it, the start of HD Remasters, games at 60hz. I still hook up for gaming with mates and still holding out for deals!
PS4, least favourite, unnessesary remasters of PS3 games, paying for online, mostly shooters and open worlds. To me its a more powerful version of the PS3, just without all the parts that made PS3 great. I've probably only really enjoyed 3 games on it.
@YozenFroghurt ps2 didnt have enough games?
Being an old skool gamer I've had every playstation system at some point. Even had a Japanese import of the PS1. That said I was mainly a sega player in the early 90s but the Saturn just didn't have the games so I went PS1 then Dreamcast then PS2 when it was clear the DC wasn't going to last. The PS2 was a great machine and had fantastic games but the Xbox pipped it for me. Better controller (in my opinion anyway) in built hard drive and some amazing games as well. Granted I had both so I didn't miss out on anything in that era but Xbox become my go to for the most part. That continued with the 360 which again had a far superior controller and generally better games. Again I did have a PS3 so I didn't miss out on the great exclusives but the multi format games were usually better on 360. Overall I'd say the PS3 was a bit of a mis step for Sony. It's funny, Microsoft started that gen on great form and screwed it up trying to get in on the Wii market. Sony made some mistakes early with the PS3 but pulled it together as Microsoft dropped the ball.
With current gen they've Sony got it spot on. The changes to dual shock controllers really impressed me as I didn't like the analogue sticks on older versions. They've got it so right I never even bothered with an Xbox one. so for me the PS4 is the best playstation so far.
Been with Sony since the beginning, but weirdly I found myself voting for the PlayStation3 as my favourite.
It isn't the best console, nor does it arguably have the best games, but it's the generation which woke me up to modern gaming and led me here. The PSone and PS2 were mostly machines I used to play Sonic and licenced games, things from my childhood, but I ran my PS2 into the ground after university and, thanks to a transitory period in my life, was very late to the next generation.
When I finally caught up midway through, with a long shopping list of already-released games and yet still with a good few years of promise remaining, I was in my element. I had time to discover and fall in love with new things (Uncharted, Mass Effect, the Arkham games, etc.) whilst also falling back on franchise favourites (Sonic, Bond, Star Wars, Tomb Raider, etc.) and finally getting to see how some epic stories ended (Metal Gear).
It might be regarded by some as the black sheep of Sony's lineage, and I may have been interested in games long before I got one, but the PS3 had an incalculable impact on my future as a gamer.
Head: PS4
Heart: PlayStation
First console was the PS1. I can't recall when my brother came home with it, but I do remember him coming home with the PS2 on release.
Favorite is a toss up between the PS4 and PS2.
@SoulChimera Regularly standing at Dixsons window watching the Ridge Racer demo waiting for the ps1 to be released is one of my favourite gaming memories π still feels like the biggest generation leap yet to me
PS4 is my favorite. Followed by the Vita, PS2, PS3, PSP and PS1. (:
Whilst PlayStation wasn't my first console, it was an amazing one and I loved it. I get excited every time I hear that startup sequence. Wonderful memories and amazing times. A close second for me is the PS4 as there have been some truly brilliant games that have come from it and more terrific memories made.
It's a tough call between the PS3 and PS2, but I'll have to go with the PS2, just so much nostalgia wrapped up in it, and so many great games I can't get out of my head, like SOCOM 2 & 3, Dynasty Warriors 3, GTA Vice City & San Andreas, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Fight Night Round 2, 007: Nightfire... just a lot of good times with great games I spent hours and hours and hours on.
My favorite is the PS3 as I feel it had the best games.
Resistance 1-3, Little Big Planet series, Uncharted series, Infamous 1-2, Motorstorm 1-3, GTA 4-5, Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock series, Grid series, Spec Ops the Line, many Assassins Creeds, Demon and Dark Souls and many more.
The PS4, basically prettier versions of PS3 games. There is a few that really shine.
I have owned every PlayStation ever made Consoles, handhelds, add-ons, VR... .
PS4 is by far my most favourite generation. So many great games & VR!
Resi7 & Astrobot in VR are mind blowing.
That alone would be enough, but then you add Persona 5, Nioh, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne,...
PS4 is the G.O.A.T.
Thanks for all the memories PlayStation π
I kneed exactly 1 game on PSOne; Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style. Back then I was <I>the</I> biggest Nintendo fanboy and hated all things non-Nintendo. But, I also loved all things Wu-Tang Clan (still do). I bought the console for that one game and loved that terrible game. After I got bored with it I went right back to Nintendo.
When PS2 releases I was gonna try to jump to Sega Dreamcast and my then girlfriend promised to buy me one for Christmas. I was working at Walmart at the time and exactly 1 PS2 came in on the truck. I called my brother and told him to come buy it and canceled the Dreamcast (and the girlfriend soon after lol). Been a PS fan ever since. PS4 my favorite console. Though it lacks Dark Cloud and Midnight Club titles. Two franchises that hooked me to PS2.
I had an original Playstation a LONG time ago and I just picked up the PS4 Pro just over a year ago.
When I saw GTA III on a very new PS2 at a mates I was blown away, nothing has ever come close to such a big leap between consoles. Nothing, so for me I voted PS2.
Toss up between PS1 and the PSP for me. Loved them all - but especially the PSP.
It's a toss up between the PS2 and the PS4 for me. Both have kept me up until 1am on a school night with compulsive gameplay.
The PS3 was good but apart from the Drake trilogy, it never quite grabbed me as much.
The original PS1 was THE home of Lara Croft which blew everyone at the time. Plus, I finally got to play Doom and remember Wipeout with it's thumping soundtrack!
Special mention to the PSP as well - portable PS2 fun on the go. Almost wore out the thumb-stick on that with Lego Star Wars: Original Trilogy!
Vita was dead before it was out of the door but it was a class piece of kit.
My parent was broke so I enjoyed my Mega Drive until I got my first job in 98. Saved up for the Ps1. Such an upgrade. Loved it & only got the PS2 because there was a Knight Rider game released. ππ Nostalgia hit me hard for that. Skipped PS3 and only dived in on PS4 because it was free. ππ
I have to choose the first one , the original PlayStation because it was the beginnig for me, as a real gamer. The first time I really played a game and couldn't wait to get home and continue the story.
I played in my neighbour's MasterSystem and later my cousins' Megadrive (when it got cheaper my mom got one for me and my brother). But the PlayStation was the real console for me. Grand Turismo had a book explaining driving theory and I read it all.
And Metal Gear solid was just one of the best experiences I had.. I still remember the first time I entered the corridor full of dead bodies.. And the first Medal of honors... Syphon Filter, Wipeout, Driver, tony hawk, Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain..
Oh, the memories.. and all thanks to platinum..
Now that I think about it, the game quality back than was amazing..
My first PlayStation console was the first one. I got Tekken and WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game with it. It was radical.
That was my favourite PlayStation console right up until the PS4. I think I like the PS4 more. A lot of my favourite ever games - FFVII, FFIX, MGS, Silent Hill, more - are on the original PlayStation but PS4 just has so many good games. It's a great time to game.
I got a PlayStation for Christmas 1998. I knew I was getting it for xmas and went out and purchased RE2. I look back and I was so excited I felt the same I did when I got my Spectrum 48k in 1983. The only difference I was fully grown 25 year old bloke .
I think the PS1 was the first 'cool' games console. It was the time of cool Britannia in the UK, it was a time where the culture was all about having fun, clubbing was massive and for a very small amount of time the UK was actually liked by the rest of the world. I remember going to a club in Birmingham and there was a row of 10 PS1 consoles playing Wipeout, Destruction Derby and Tempest and there were groups of sweaty wide-eyed goons playing them. The fact that they were all off their tits on E probably helped
I have and do own every console Sony has released (not all variants though) and overall, I think the PS4 is my favourite just because it got me back into gaming after I had gotten bored in the previous gen.
Then because of that I came to PushSquare and chose this avatar. The rest is history.
Luckily I'm old enough to have had SNES and Amiga etc so I wasn't into PS1 at all. I look back with no fondness whatsoever at it. The graphics are/were terrible in retrospect.
It was the PS2 that reeled me in. PES, GTA Vice City etc. Amazing. Didn't bother with PS3, so then straight on to PS4 (or rather, a couple of years after it came out). Brilliant console. High hopes for PS5 (despite Sony trying their best to ruin it with their attitude to PS Now and PS Plus).
I had them all. I bought my ps1 a couple of months after release. 300 smackeroonies plus another 80 on games. I bought Wipeout and Ridge Racer. My dad drove me to Dublin to get it. They were hard to get for a while. After a year the lens dropped and it would only work if it was turned upside down.
The PS4 is my favourite console of all time followed by PS3. I could never take to the PS2 even to this day. I'd put the PS1 below the N64.
As someone with a tendency to live in the past, the original PlayStation will always be my first and my favourite. Some of my fondest memories revolve around that console, and also some of my favourite games. Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasies 7 through 9, Vagrant Story, The Legend of Dragoon, Crash Bandicoot, Jade Cocoon, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Tomb Raider. Oh man, I could go on forever.
Had a psone, hell I'm so old that wasnt even my first console. Voted for ps2, nights sitting round playing pro evo3, 5, tekken tag and San Andrea's are priceless memories.
Iβm gonna go with ps1. Started it all. Tony hawks pro skater, twisted metal, and smack down
Have and love the 2, 3, and 4, but for me it's the 3 by a nose. The jump in graphics and ability over the 2 was substantial, while the 4 seems more like iterative improvement.
Although, the 2 has the first God of War, Prince of Persia, Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, and those wonderful Burnout games.
I converted to Sega from Nintendo with the Genesis (I did own the SNES as well), then went PlayStation over Saturn. Never looked back.
Here's a cool history:
original fat PS3 was my first playstation console, and still my favourite as far as games go. i've only owned PS3, vita and PS4.
PS2 for me as it was my first taste of online play after buying the adaptor for it.
Many, many hours spent on SOCOM!!!!!
