"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Your telling me that during the PS1/PS2 era gaming shrunk!? Look, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but it was Sony that made gaming cool and expanded it beyond anything it was before with the PS1. Then they broke all records with the PS2."

Nintendo tracked sales in markets (they did this for several presentations before they first showed the Wiimote), and it showed that the gaming public was shrinking despite the PS2 selling well.

The SNES gen had some 80 million consoles sold.

The PS1 gen had 150 million

The PS2 gen had 195 million

How is that shrinking?

It wasn't that they were measuring. You should find the videos of their presentations.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
