Still think the PlayStation was somewhat overrated too. Shitty controller that kept the same design for nearly 20 years. Extremely slow CD-ROM. Terrible 3D graphics. Lots of games but not that many truly great ones.
And many of the best NES games are still great fun to this day, like the Mega Man games, Contra/Probotector, Batman, DuckTales, Super Mario games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bionic Commando, River City Ransom, etc, etc. (those wondering about omissions, I listed the games I personally played back in those blessed days of early 90's)Best console for me, in terms of how it revolutionized gaming, was the NES, my parents bought me one at launch, and it blew my mind as a kid, the diversity in games, genres, gameplay in such low powered hardware, plus it was fucking indestructible.
Overrated: Xbox 360
Casuals treat it like hot shit, despite eventually placing third in the generation's console race thanks to a late come back from the PS3. It had very few exclusives worth playing and even fewer of these have stayed exclusive
PSP - lot of people yapping "PSP haz no games" (parroting "PS3haz no games" memo) but it got massive amount of turn based titles, while on PC they were scarce. Still remember when I got my first kickstarted title (Wasteland2) and returned to PSP library of turn-based games after 5h of experiencing this shit...
I personally found the PSP pretty overrated in some circles. People hype the incredible amount of great games on the console, but most are pretty... meh. Loads of tactical rpgs (Most of which were either ports, "enhanced" ports or just plain mediocre), JRPGS (Pretty much just ports or awful spinoffs... again.), kinda cool-but-actually-terrible spinoffs like GTA games and MGS games. And subpar sequels to good games, like VC2/VC3. It's pretty good as emulation device, but I kinda stopped caring about 5th gen and previous emulation decade ago.
There are great exclusives to PS4 but they're undeserved. Atlus gamds like 13 Sentinels and Persona 5 come to mind. Sony doesn't sign exclutivity for Atlus I as far as I know, Atlus are just Sony fanboys. It also recieved exclusive versions of doujin titles.Now, when next-gen arrived, I must add PS4.
Absolute lack of identity, most of its exclusives are just cinematic popamole so it's like Bloodborne and Spider-Man machine, not worth all the praise it has received. Even tech-wise PS4 Pro is way below Xbone X.

No, but Persona 5 runs a lot better on PS4 and 13S was not localized on Vita.Atlus gamds like 13 Sentinels and Persona 5 come to mind.
These games are not PS4 exclusive - Persona 5 has PS3 (and thanks to that - is easily emulated on PC) and 13S was released on Vita too.
Doesn't Persona 5 emulated on the ps3 emulator run better than P5 on a ps4 though? Wow that was a lot of Ps.No, but Persona 5 runs a lot better on PS4 and 13S was not localized on Vita.Atlus gamds like 13 Sentinels and Persona 5 come to mind.

I believe while it would run better, the texture quality is just gonna be innately worse.Doesn't Persona 5 emulated on the ps3 emulator run better than P5 on a ps4 though? Wow that was a lot of Ps.
Amalur, Valkyria and HD Collection was multiplat.A decline in relation to the PS2, but still plenty of fun to be had (Valkyria Chronicles, Kingdom of Amalur, Motorstorm series, Metal Gear HD collection, etc.).
