Quote:Developers jumped on the PS2 because of the PSX's success, Nintendo's dwindling support, Sega's evident demise, and the complete unknown Microsoft. Really, where else would they turn to?
This is called "spin written in hindsight made in order to prove a point". Look back at now from five years from now and things will probably seem just as "obvious" about what would happen...
... yes, the PS2 did seem to have things won quite quickly, but still. The PS2 was even more successful than the PS1 was, remember! By a good margin too...
Quote:Why, just today, only 6 weeks after PS3's launch, I walk in to a gamestop and see a sign that reads: "We have PS3's in stock. Please buy them."
This, I'm pretty sure, is about price first, game selection second. $300-$400 and demand would be insane, games or no... PS2 didn't exactly have much worth mentioning its first holiday season. :)
