lol whut!? You're OK with a 7 month drought, but you're not sure about the rest of the year when it actually gets games? |
You know what? It's time for some perspective. I bought the PS1 at launch day december 3 1994. It had 1 game worth buying. PS1 sold 150 000 units in its first month of release. It was labeled a resounding success and Sony issued press statements to the media bragging about its amazing launch.
3 months later another quality game was released, Toshinden. At the time it was a must have and I got it. 3 months later, Tekken arrived. The PS1's 3rd must have title in 6 months. I got that one, too. So a total of 3 quality games within the first 6 months. Later that year, it released in the US. it sold 100 000 in its first month. Sony issued another press release celebrating an amazingly successful launch. A little while later it launched in Europe and sold similarily.
On january 1996, the PS1 had shipped an amazing 3,4 million in 13 months. Sony was very busy congratulating themselves and the gaming media reinforced what a success-story the PS1 had become.
Fast forward to this day in the year 2013. Witnessing these doom and gloom events with a perspective on history is just hilarious and sad at the same time.
