PS2 and the new Gen

[Satoshi_Matrix]

In my opinion the SNES was already a classic a long time before the release of the Playstation2. It's a 10 year span from the SNES to PlayStation2. And it's a nearly 14 year span between PlayStation2 and the PlayStation4.

What I want to say... The last game release, or the time between systems means nothing. NOTHING!!!!

This.

I clearly stated that I don't consider the Playstation 2 a classic or a modern system. I'm not arguing for either one. I'm arguing that it could easily go either way and that the fact that it still has some commercial life is just one argument that someone could use against those proclaiming that it's an undeniable fact that it's a classic gaming system.

Sorry, it just seemed like you were implying the PS2 is not a classic console at this point. I suppose there is some validity in the statement that the PS2 has the slimmest of commercial viability in today's console market.

This if it's two generations old it's automatically classic rule you seem to be using is rubbish. It's not anywhere near that simple as this thread attests to.

With respect, explain to me how this is "rubbish" and not a universal truth? What console or handheld is two generations old and not classic in your view (other than the PS2 which you've continued to argue for possibly still being considered modern as a strange anomaly of gaming)
