Takes more than one game to win a generation. If that were the case then Super Mario 64 would have won the N64 that generation.

And Ocarina of Time would have buried Sony forever. One game does not a victor make.

 

ssj: Halo put Microsoft on the map when it was too obscure to get a lot of attention. It went from nothing to someting. Sony is in the opposite position. Everyone knows about the PS3, and interest is fading away. One game on its own doesn't stop that.


OoT did bury Sony, imo. The N64 was infinitely better than the ps1 just because of SM64, MK64, OoT, and MM. I don't care what the sales charts say. :P


OOT would have buried Sony is Square didn't release Final Fantasy VII which set the PS on the path of greatness.


 I'm inclined to agree with that.  Honestly, Final Fantasy VII was about the only game that could have possibly parried Ocarina of Time, and to the victor went the spoils (and the momentum).
