Because in 3 years, they'll all be replaced with the newer versions and nobody will even care about the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube etc etc.
Really, you wont.
Just like Dreamcast, Playstations, Saturns etc, give it some time and you'll all be looking to the next consoles and arguing about which of those will be best.
And none of them will, because yet again they'll be replaced.

Cycles you see.

I completely disgaree. There are 2 ways to judge console success- by it making money, or by the quality and long term dedication to it.

Taking money, the SNES, Mega Drive and Playstation were all hugely successful consoles- they didn't fail in this respect.

Taking games, what serious gamer doesn't still play on their SNES???

(well, you could, but you'd be wrong.)
