See for me, the PS2 is king, and the PS3 was the mostly shitty console. I didn't like the PS3/360 era at all. Got better with Xbone/PS4 though.
I currently own a PS3 because that was the only way to get some of my games onto my Vita (that's not actually a problem anymore). I have CFW on it, and now I have the option to play PS2 games that I missed at the time.
I started gaming on my dad's 1976-era Radio Shack Pong game. I had a 2600, [EDIT How did I forget this?]then a Commodore 128, then a Sega Master System, then a Sega Genesis, then a Nintendo Game Boy, then an Atari Lynx, then a Sega Saturn, then an Atari Jaguar, then a 3DO and NES and SNES and NeoGeoCD and a TurboDuo and a TurboExpress (and TV tuner!) and a Nintendo Virtual Boy (all at the same time), then a PS1, then nothing, then a PSP, then a Vita, then a PS3. I like video games a lot, but I'm not addicted to them.
I can play almost everything I want to play on my Vita. And that's a good thing, because I don't want to sit in front of a TV to play video games. With my Vita, I can play almost anything I want, whenever I want to play it.
PS2 is in that weird place where it just looks bad. It's not primitive like a NES or SMS, but bad like it's ready for HD in a SD world. Which it was, but it's just awful playing it now. I don't have any nostalgia for it, so it just looks awful instead of "OMG I remember playing this! I don't remember it looking this bad"
What I really want is something like the GPD Win 3 or AYA Neo, but there's no chance in hell I'm spending $600-$1000 on something like that.
