To say that the PS2 titles are weak, you have to admit that pretty much 60% of all titles on every console pretty much suck. There was just as much lame junk on the PS1 as there is on the PS2.
I'm not arguing that, there are a lot of bad games for most any platform. I'm only taking about the really good stuff, of which it seemed like there was a lot more for the PS1 and the PS2. (Granted, this is subjective.)

Now, I don't think a console needs to be able to play games online, but I am a fan of games that allow you to download extra content for the regular playing experience. By not evolving, Nintendo is ignoring thise nice aspect of online accessability.
The Revolution doesn't do this? The DS can, so I'm surprised. (Although I am not really a fan of online gaming currently, either.)

One of my best friends always tries to start a console arguement with me by taunting the Box's machine strength over the PS2, but my neutrality always holds strong since I just want to play good games and I don't care where they come from.
Ah, a "mine is bigger" argument? I remember those going on between the Genesis and the SNES when I was younger (I liked both), and a good number of the facts that people used to quote turned out to be wrong anyway. Personally, I think in those cases developers tend to become more focused on what they can do rather than making a fun game. But, history has shown that "more powerful" does not equal better gameplay (or better sales), although I've met people who seem to think it does -- at which point, I usually feel like, to quote Tycho, "Excuse me, I forgot. It's not innovation unless it involves another texture pass."
