PS2 by a country mile. I've owned a PS3 twice now and while the first time I had one it got stolen a few months after I got it, I never really played it that much. Second time I more or less just got it for The Last of Us but had a really hard time dealing with the slow frame rate and controls. Everything about the PS2 just worked for me. It had arguably one of the greatest video game libraries of any console many of which I consider to be absolute classics. I mean I know a lot of them were remasted or whatever for PS3, but I don't know if they really needed to be. I think the biggest problem with the PS3 was just the fact that it went for cell processing, which gave it untold power, but became a nightmare to program for, which is why so many ports for it were pretty lacking.
I have a feeling though that the PS4 could live up to the PS2's legacy so long as it is given the time and we don't rush out the PS5 in 5 years time because people want a new shiny black box to sit under their TV.
