On top of the PS2 lineup, the GameCube and Xbox both had very strong launch lineups.
Twisted Metal Black, ICO, Halo, Dead or Alive 3, Max Payne, Rogue Squadron II, Pikmin, Smash Bros Melee and so many more from the three.
Compare that to the homogenized trash today.
MS release one or two big sequels a year. Sony releases indies, Uncharted, and VitaPS3 ports. Nintendo releases the NES -- which turns out to be the best, most sought after software/hardware of the year.
And 95 percent of it can be found on PC at half price. Or fucking free.
Based PC.

I remember when I thought NES graphics were great. Then I thought they were shit. Then we rethought them as a deliberate style, which I really liked. Now they've ruined it again with every other fucking indie game on Steam looking like an NES/SNES reject title. "Oh joy, another pixelized platformer in my daily queue!"
Also, I really hate the loss of the A and AA-tier games in favor of downloadable indies. There are lots of truly great indies, don't misunderstand me. But you won't see many new franchises like, say, Way of the Samurai, which was done on a shoestring budget on the PS2 and was a great fucking game. And when you do see new games like that, they're download-only. Fuck that, I want my discs.
