Quote:Years is more than 'a bit'. It does matter as it shows what you meant by the statement.
The PS2 did not come out YEARS later than it was originally supposed to.
Quote:PS2... it's tough to say if it came out early. After all, the DC had been out for a year by then, so you could say it was late... but compared to when the PS1 shipped, it was probably right about on time if you give the PS1 a full life. The real problem was that since the N64 had shipped comparitively late, Nintendo didn't want to abandon it REALLY early, and tried to have it compete with DC and PS2... as for MS, who knows. It was their first console so they were a bit late.
The Dreamcast wasn't even competition for the PSone, let alone the PS2. Sony got a head start on Nintendo and MS (something they BOTH admit was a factor in Sony's huge lead this gen), and MS is trying to prevent that from happening again.
