the PS2 had over 4000 titles
PS2/GCN/XBOX was the GOATed console generation and it's not even close - unless your favorite color is brown, I suppose.
PS2 was absolute peak, sure some of it probably nostalgia goggles but I feel like it was the sweet spot between how powerful was the hardware and how much you needed to actually innovate to make the game more fun instead of just chasing prettier graphics with mediocre gamplay.
It was also before game development got homogenized and became less about creation and more about constructing to a template, but at the same time, most of the major issues with 3D games had already been fixed.
If I had to pick one I would pick PS2 but I think that whole generation was riding a similar wave of innovation. Hell it also included the Dreamcast which was a good console with a good library that unfortunately got blown out of the water by being made to compete against three great ones.
