The Sony PlayStation 2 is quite possibly the greatest console ever to be released. The sleek 1970s VCR aesthetic combined with the throbbing cutting edge innards came together to bring explorers of The Third Place some of the best gaming experiences ever, and the DVD playback facility meant that it was the first true 'all-in-one' entertainment device. To this end, here's a run-down of even more reasons that the PS2 is the best console ever and literally farts all over the Dreamcast in every respect. Let's begin!

1. The PlayStation 2 looks awesome
Look at it! There's not really anything more to say. The Dreamcast has a cruddy spring and an antiquated lid that just flops open like it can't be bothered. The PS2 has a motorised drawer that glides out to accept your game like the palm of Zeus. Yes, the PS2 Slim does away with the motorised drawer...but that's because the PS2 had already established itself as too cool for school and didn't need it any more. So there.
2. The PlayStation 2 plays DVDs
Hahaha! The Dreamcast uses what?! GDs? What the hell is that junk? DVDs are the future and the PlayStation 2 plays them straight out of the box. What can you play on Dreamcast? Nothing!
3. The PlayStation 2 has dual analogue sticks
The Dreamcast's shitty controller only has one analogue stick and it's shaped like a melting wellington boot. I've held more comfortable bear traps than that piece of rubbish. And why does it have a hole in the middle? PS2 has dual analogue sticks and a rumble function built in! And it has analogue buttons too! In your face, Dreamcast!
4. The PlayStation 2 has better graphics
Look at those puddles in Gran Turismo 3. I don't need to say anything else.
5. Sony still exists
Face the facts, idiots. The Dreamcast killed Sega and then they were bought by Nintendo or something (that's what my mate says, anyway). Sony is still kicking ass with the PS4 which has more awesome exclusives than every other console. It also has a VR headset! What does the Dreamcast have? Some crappy arcade games and no FIFAs. You can't even play online on the Dreamcast. And the PS2 has a hard drive and a modem that you can buy. And SSX Tricky.
So there you go. Pretty conclusive evidence that the PlayStation 2 is far superior to the Dreamcast and always will be.
Note - this isn't real. It's April 1st. Sigh.
