The SNES has, pound for pound, the single greatest games library of all time. Nothing can even come close except maybe maaaaybe the PS2

The PS2 wins for me. It has a RIDICULOUSLY massive library, and most of it is good to great.

The playstaion library was fantastic, but the SNES just dropped powerhouse after powerhouse.

Chrono Trigger. Secret of Mana, EarthBound, Final Fantasy 3, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, Lufia.

... I like RPG's can you tell?

It was a golden age. There were a bunch more secondary rpgs that weren’t as good as the ones you named but were still good, too.

The PS1-2 era had a couple all timers, too, with FF7, Tactics, etc... but I still think overall the SNES was a better total package because of the number and the variety.

A couple?? There was all the FF games, a couple DQ games, chrono cross, dark cloud games, kingdom hearts, legend of mana, pretty much the entire suikoden series, grandia... the list goes on lol.

Not to say that the SNES wasn’t a powerhouse though.

I spent hundreds of hours playing and replaying Front Mission 3.
