also whoever voted PS4 instead of ps2 I will find you and kill you
The PS2 was an amazing console at the time but when you come back to it, it really lacks a lot of nice features.
The current gen consoles are more like multimedia hubs, combining Internet, DVD/Blu-Ray, gaming and other functionality into a convenient box that requires very little setup or maintenance. That's why there's a strong market for consoles, because otherwise you might as well just buy a PC with Windows 10 and turn on touchscreen mode.
Sure, I loved the PS1 and PS2 both when they were all I had, but I think it's really a contest between the PS3 and PS4. The PS3, if you ignore technical capability, is a little outdated now in terms of multimedia features, but it's still a worth machine.
I can't vote until I get my PS4, though. I've only handled developer kits, and they're a bit different to a standard PS4.
