Hehe karma is a bitch huh Dinomax?
I remember thinking the same thing when PS1 and PS2 began hitting their strides. Dance Dance Revolution, the original Guitar Hero, Eye Toy, Singstar, proliferation of sports and thousands of disc based movie games that were all of questionable quality...thats how PS1 and PS2 got so big. Its not like any single Playstation game has been purchased new more than 20m times, despite 105m PS1s shipped and ~138m (estimated through Dec) PS2s shipped. That stuff was the backbone of PS1 and PS2. There is a reason why no no Playstation game has ever topped 20m units after all...for all the talk of the variety of games the supposedly hardcore gamers play the vast majority just hop on the latest new genre and buy most of their games in two-three genres. Back in the day, NES had roughly as many games sell 5m+, 10m+ copies as PS2 did so its not like there has been growth in the traditional audience, only the casual audience with more diversified tastes. Sony had a decade to try to find a product that could sell to 20 or 30 or 40 million of these new customers but they never found it. Nintendo has. Wii Fit, Wii Play, Wii Sports, Mario Kart with simpler controls, Wii Music.
Hate to break it to you, but the louder the complainer the smaller the minority is in taste preferences when it comes to gaming.
