| PS3owner said: Sony sold more games on the PS2 then Nintendo did on the GC, and thats all that matters. Even when Nintendo was the only one making games for the system they still can't outsell Sony. @Biggerboat, i may not have explained my position best, but i was trying to say that new games made for home consoles. And that each system will have their own games, but they wii just can't match the power of the PS3/360. PS3/360 can make games like FF13 while the wii can't, but they will get their own style of games, like you pointed out with DQ9 for the DS. |
The PS2's userbase was 6 times the size!
There were (essentially) no barriers that prevented people from buying most of these PS2 games because people already owned a PS2. How many of the people who bought God of War or Sly Cooper would have bought a Gamecube or XBox to play those games? How many of those game sales were caused by someone seeing an advertizement or reading an article and saying "I think I'll pick that up when it comes out"?
The truth is that Nintendo software sales on the Gamecube had a glass-celing that Sony never faced on the PS2 because few people would buy the system to play one game; had the userbase of the Gamecube been as large as the PS2's userbase there is no doubt in my mind that these games would have outsold the PS2's list and many more titles would have been added to Nintendo's Gamecube Million Seller list.
