I liked the PS4 more than the PS2.
I remember getting my PS2 in October, 2004. I was blown away by classics like Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts, and Devil May Cry. I eventually built up a library large enough to rival my GameCube library. I had most of the best games on the console, including Okami, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Tales of the Abyss, SoulCalibur III, and a ton more.
When I got my PS4, I got it with Bloodborne. As a Dark Souls enthusiast, I was so terrible at the game I couldn't beat it for years. Outside of Dark Souls III, I was underwhelmed with the selection. I would say the PS4 shouldn't have been released for years after 2013. I would even go as far as to say it had an even slower start than the PS3 did.
When 2017 hit, everything changed. Tales of Berseria, NieR: Automata, Yakuza 0, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, and Persona 5 all came out. It was the craziest year I had seen where everything just came out at once. I delved into so many classics.
PS4 had amazing ports and remasters like REmake HD and RE4. It ultimately released my favorite game on the system - Final Fantasy VII Remake - on top of everything else.
I think the reason people don't value the PS4 compared to the PS2 is two reasons.
**1. It's not a historic revolution the way the PS1 and PS2 were. The revolution already happened. This was a continuation.**
**2. The system lacks an exclusive library.**
This was the generation where they started providing more timed exclusives than ever before. Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Horizon all went to PC. You can't by definition, call them "exclusives" anymore.
I feel were it not for that, more people would remember the PS4 as having one of the single greatest libraries of all time. At the very least equal to the PS2 depending on your taste. Though I also think a major portion of that also comes down to nostalgia.
