Ps3 came out in the end of 2006, but the ps2 was such a good console that it outshined the ps3 and 4 for a long time, arguably into the early 2010s. Let’s say 2011.
To have seen a real one in real life, I’m not going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and say “seen” means seen and not owned or played. I’ll say that means “been around one in use by a friend or family member”. Kids as young as 5-7 years old can operate one of those.
So, in 2011 (yeah we’re playing with huge averages and assumptions) a kid would have to be let’s even say 6 years old, and so therefore born in 2005? Making the youngest person whoever this anklebiter accepts as relatable or human or whatever, to be now 21 years old.
Which like, yeah, that’s a fuckin weird way to guage things? But to be fair, after going over the years, from a child’s perspective, yeah it’s an old console.
The counter argument is, though, that while the graphics aren’t that great anymore, the gameplay and experiences are still top tier in the best ~100 or 50 or so ps2 games. That’s a shitload of good games that, even compared to now, with the indie games’ renaissance, have incredible value and influence.
Also, games in the past 20 years really haven’t progressed as much as the 20 years prior. Graphically, maybe, but graphical fidelity is not the game part of the game, and 99% of the time, it isn’t the experience, either.
