PS2 is still the best designed console in terms of hardware ever (And that isn't a joke) (or is it?)

What about the Wii lol? It was basically an overclocked Gamecube.

It was obsolete technology when it released with a weak CPU (3 1 gamecube CPUs clocked quite low) and the same Gamecube GPU overclocked by only 50% which was incredibly weak (and old tech). Also because of full hardware compatibility with Gamecube the architecture was a frankeinstein and hard to use.

Wii games looked rough as sandpaper, even when it was released, yet graphics wasn't its raison d'etre.

The wii was still single core. The Wii U is the triple core one (still based on gc/wii core).
