I still don't think exclusives will solely decide what's more collectible for that generation.
GameCube has more exclusives, but PS2 is the more collected system.
It's all about that nostalgia when the kids of that generation hit a certain age.
First of all ps2 is the console that has more exclusives but the gamecube ones in general are heavy hitters.
i don't know why one would think ps2 is the more collected system over gamecube
yes it has more exclusives, it's cheaper and it sold way better back in the day.
While gamecube has a way smaller library there are way more serious collectors for gamecube and plenty that don't even collect for ps2 instead of the other way around
Gamecube has many full set collectors ps2 barely any, even common trash gamecube games have some value and a chance to sell while ps2 and xbox ones are trash.
The Gamecube exclusives are overhyped resulting in them being pricy while the ones on ps2 in general it doesn't even come close unless it is actually very uncommon and an excellent game at the very least.
From what i have seen ps2 is quite a niche as far as collectors go and usually only for specific kinds of games it's a way smaller group than people who collect gamecube even though the library is allot smaller.
I have no clue why one would think that more people seriously collect for ps2 when you take into consideration that gamecube prices are pretty high overhyped and there are actually quite some people out there who want a full set for gamecube
I don't see ps2 being overhyped more like the under dog in terms of collecting. Gamecube on the otherhand that's another story, your statement seems pretty illogical that the ps2 is the more serious collected console.
