Probably the biggest selling point for PS2 was the DVD player, in much the same way that the big selling point for PS3 is the Blu-Ray player. I'm not saying that PS2 wasn't great, I'm just saying that the games weren't as original as the ones on PS1 were, by ratio of originals to sequels if that helps you understand what I'm getting at.
The PS1 was the most innovative, being the original console, and the PS2 just added a few things on top of what the PS1 did, but with everything considered there wasn't any major change beyond maybe the analog sticks, DVD player, and online capability.
I'm not saying the games were bad, I'm just saying I don't like seeing so many sequels and so little innovation. PS1 clearly had me covered with both originals and innovative games. I don't see how PS2 could've been worth it considering it was basically a PS1 combined with a DVD player and a few small features from a PC and the analog sticks and rumble from N64, all of which I already had except for the N64. PC has long since been my home gaming system of choice, especially ever since I got broadband in 1999 and because PC is superior in literally every way and could easily mimic consoles.
If I had the money to spend or rich parents to buy it for me, my opinion might be different and I probably would've been a Sony fanboy by now, but that's not the case so I'm a fanboy of Nintendo and PC. Well, I don't know about fanboy, I still see many of the negatives of them, but I strongly favor them since I see way more positives and far fewer negatives than Sony.
