I have tried to use game that were know from PS2 owners like FF MGS GTA GT.
Halo is not a PS game, since it is Xbox exclusive, but a lot of PS owners are interested in playing it (because if there was 1 very famous game on Xbox it was Halo). Halo is typically the type of game that PS2 owners would have been happy to play. Mario is not. Mario is an exclusive Nintendo game that don't really appeal PS2 owners (too cartoon)

I was just stated that if PS2 owners want to play to their favorite game, they have to purchase PS3 or Xbox360. Yes, Halo is not a favorite PS2owners game but I m pretty sure they will be happy to test it since there is a lot of hype on it.

If Wii is able to get some of these "cinematic game" (like Halo/FF/GTA/GT are), that have make the popularity of the PS name, then it will better attract PS2 owners.
That is all I wanted to say :

Wiimote + nintendo "good-cartoon-game" + PS "cinematic game" + low price
==> Wii WIN by KO

And man, I never saied "fuck u"
So keep ur rude language for yourself,
I just answered u that I never stated that "Halo is coming to PS2"
as you were suggesting in your first 1 line post completely out of the thread.
Take it easy next time, thx u.

I don't really see your argument ...

Kingdom Hearts, Crash Bandicoot, Dragon Quest, Simpsons, Lego Starwars, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sonic, Dragon Ball Z, Everybody's Golf and so on are all multi-million selling games with a very similar cartoon style to Mario ... Had Mario (or any Nintendo property) been released for the Playstation it would have been one of the top selling games.

People bought the Playstation for other games, they didn't "avoid buying the Gamecube/N64 because it had Mario on it" ... The fact of the matter is the Wii will likely have more games released for it meaning it will have more "other games" that attract users than the PS3 will have

 

Question 1: How many PS2 owners also own a GBA/DS and a Mario game?

Question 2: How quickly would Sony fanboys have raised the roof if Nintendo had gone software-only and declared Mario a Sony exclusive franchise?

Question 3: There are 120+ million PS2s out there. The best selling franchise (GTA) sold upwards of 13 million copies each, barely a 10% attach rate. The other top franchises were Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts (could be lumped in with FF), MGS, Madden and Jax and Dexter. The rest of the million-selling games ranges from RE4 to Crash Bandicoot. So... what exactly is a typical PS gamer?
