Why do people say the PS2 started out slow?

Oh yeah. There's a whole group repeating this mantra that PS2 launched slow, and GC launched fast, and this is exactly the same thing we're witnessing today.

Absolute garbage if you look at the numbers, but certainly you've seen the people saying it, here and elsewhere.

Reminds me of political party talking points. Go out into enough outlets repeating a certain mantra and eventually you can change popular opinion. At least that's the plan

The Daily Show showcases this all the time. Always funny.

Pathetic.

 The Geico guy isn't a caveman. One ad showed he lives in an apartment, so he's getting offended over nothing. After all, the slogan is not, "So easy, a neanderthal could do it."
