except EA back then was one mother of an except.
Its hard to see a console have a benchmark launch when the the strongest & dominant 3rd party won't support it
A launch isn't just week 1.....its year 1, the year where usually public mindshare/reputation is gained
As for a benchmark launch, I will have to give it too PS2. If PS2's HYPE alone "apparently" destroyed DC's chances of success, then oh my.....thats how you should launch a console.
PS2 had support of every majr 3rd party at launch & its hype alone led to one of its competitors bowing out of the race, hype of it being a DVD player too......thats a benchmark launch if there was ever one from a business perspective.
