Looking Back - Favorite Playstation Console?

With the PS5 release fast approaching, let's take a look back at previous PS systems.

If you could only choose one Playstation... which would you choose?

Once you've got your pick - why? Is it due to the games, the design, the nostalgia, etc?

    Always going to be the PS2 and the worst was the PS3

    Agreed, the PS2 is too nostalgic for me to not pick it haha

    I can't remember which I started on, but we definitely had a PS1 in the house that I'd mostly play Spyro and Tomb Raider on when I was a little kid. I could also listen to music through it which was awesome at the time since I didn't have an iPod. I didn't realize back then how it was the start of something great for many years to come.
    I then got hooked into the PS2 which is where my Need for Speed and overall car addiction came into play. I feel the PS1 had more of an impact in terms of starting to game at a young age while the PS2 kept my interests growing and consistant, it's a hard toss up between the two.
    I love my PS4, I don't have many games on it yet, but my PS3 in terms of "availability" would always remain to be slim. My dad got it for me as a used console and most of the games that came with it just refused to work correctly. I was able to get some amazing play out of a few games, but it's hard to appreciate it fully with the barriers that it came with.
    Currently, most of my gaming is on my laptop. I have nowhere comfortable to play on my consoles at the moment, but I won't ever forget where I came from. In terms of reliability, the PS2 will always have that special spot for me, but I love and enjoy them all equally.

  • I have to give it to the PS1. PlayStation 2 was great and really launched the industry forward technologically, but I never felt the way I did as when I discovered a new PS1 game. Tomb Raider 1 and 2 are still both in my top 10.

    PS2 for sure! There were so many good games that i have very fond memories of. I recently bought an old PS2 just to replay some of them as well. Slight smile

    The PS1 did it first...

    Metal Gear Solid made the first Playstation

    I agree. The storytelling in that game, as hokey as it was, was pretty ground breaking at the time.

    True. I lvoed the PS1, but looking back on my childhood all of my favorite games were PS2. It has so many!

    Looking back on how much time I spent playing on each of these (minus the PS5), I wanted to say PS3, but the amount of life changing games, memories, and experiences I had with PS2 blows it out of the water. So many games from Silent Hill 2, a bunch of DDR titles, fighting games, RPGs, the first backwards compatible system, and so much more. It was definitely a great time to be alive.
