PS2 honestly had the best of both legacy and PS3. In fact, the PS2 arguably was too advanced for it's time, which we saw in the technology surrounding Final Fantasy XI's MMO attempt. I forgot what it was, but FFXI came with some kind of network gear that you inserted into the back of the original PS2. After that game went down hill, you saw the PS2 get a smaller and more streamlined look. The PS2 also catered to more of the nostalgic games I enjoyed, without going super uncanny valley and ultra realistic like in the majority of titles today. Things like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Jack and Daxter, and the like had a certain feel that I argue never transitioned over to the PS3 with the same hype. Arguably, games like Little Big Planet were around, but I really didn't feel the same warm feeling I had in the PS2 and N64 days.
