Kinda my point. PS3 has prety much allt he PS2 biggies.

As for Europe.

Microsfot wasn't around in the PS1 era.

Therefore wasn't the first to make an effort in europe.

Duh.

 

Really?

Sony wasn't around in the US during the NES/SNES/part of the N64 days. On their first effort, in a foreign territory, they threw all other suckers to the ground.

The "not first" explanation doesn't fly.

The PS1 was not a quality console. In fact, it was rather a heap of shit, much like the one in your avatar. Yet it took off in Europe and Japan, despite their supposed obsession with quality, and despite the fact that Nintendo was making (and continue to make) much more reliable consoles.

The software, however, was off the fucking chart. That probably has something to do with its success.

Also, the Xbox was a better piece of hardware than the PS2. Why didn't it take off?
