@forevercloud3000: Are you trying to tell me that if RE4 did not arrive on the PS2, 2.71m more Gamecubes would have been sold?

I'm sorry, but I find that to be pretty ridiculous.

I think you are looking at it in reverse. Yes it came to gamecube first, but if you remember correctly RE is an EX PS exclusive franchise, the fanbase lied with PS2. When you look at the numbers of PS2 one compared to the GC one, you can see if they had not tried to pull the whole GC exclusive thing those sales would have all been on PS2.

 

That may be the case, but this gen many old PS2 users have skipped out on the PS3, and bought the 360. There are more people in this catagory than you'd like to believe. The fact is, most people cannot afford more than one system (or just can't justify paying the price). If someone only likes a handful of games on the PS3 (FFXIII included), they may have skipped out on the game.

Take a look at Halo 3's sales, and how well it's doing above the 2nd game. If Halo 2 were released on a more popular system last gen, it probably would have sold more.
