It was competing against the most succesful home console ever. Games like Final Fantasy XII, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War 2 or Okami were released for the ps2 with the X360 already in the market.

 

 Shadow of Colossus, Okami? These are your examples? They did not sell well. Besides that the 360 was being given plenty of very high profile games and had a very different market. They easily stood out in the market because no other next gen console had come out. MS spent millions getting special deals with third parties.

 

In other words 360 was not an underdog but the rich kid down the street that you always knew was going to college because of his backround. Not to mention some great games came out.

 

Could you cherrypick a little more please? In the same line where you found SotC and Okamis there's a mainline Final Fantasy and God of War 2, you know... the predecessor of the game which only needed a single trailer to send the sony section of the forum into overdrive?

Going against a 100M active userbase with some of the biggest games of the system still to be released isn't being the underdog? You can't get over your own biases, which that we know so far include both Microsoft/X360 and rich kids. Anyone else on your personal list of things to hate?

 

 

 

You really reading into my post way too literally. Mentioning Okami and SotC was just an aside. I totally agree there were big time games coming out on the PS2, that doesnt mean much of it ran into the 360 audience except with GOTY choices and such. You also took too literally the fact that I used an analogy and you turned it into some sort of insult. As for being "biased" toward the 360 thats total BS. Because I dont agree that the well funded 360 was underdog IM biased and I hate these groups? No and dont put words in my mouth.
