Ok then, ps1 had the largest library of video games, and games released on other consoles at the time were good, but they were only games. Games like FF7 and MGS1 gave video games a new dimension, they both made gamers concentrate on the plot rather than the gameplay, so they never get outdated, why on earth do you think they made the Twin Snakes ? Or the modified Resident Evil 1? Why are the old Final Fantasy titles still being released up until now ? These games began a new era, back in the nes days, and the megadrive days, I used to play games for fun, now it's different, games became more serious, look how many games are trying to compete with metal gear solid games, before mgs1, about 90% of gamers never heard of a stealth video game, and the other 10% knew about it from previous metal gear installments, this was the first game to be featured in a cinematic style, it wasn't just a game to play to have fun, it's a lot more than that, it's a life in itself. Do you know that Hideo Kojima was put in the list of top 10 people who affect the future? You may want to keep playing action platformers, but be aware that no matter how great they become, in the end, they are only Video Games

I know it is my opinion, but try and find one person who doesn't like Sonic. It's impossible.

Final Fantasy 7 was hailed as the best game ever by many Japanese gamers, and that thing about the ps2 coming early, it's wrong, because if you checked out the weekly sales, you'll find that there is a BIG difference, and these things you said about the best games, that's just your opinion, the majority thinks differently.
