| NJ5 said: Just like the PS2 before it, the PS3 was criticized for not having enough games to survive Did that really happen with the PS2? The "Shortages" argument is just laughable. The PS2 according to many was doomed because it carried a DVD drive that at the time was unknown Err... no it wasn't. $299 was the launch price of Sony's PS2 and a good portion of the media was crying about it, saying PS2 was just too expensive Again... did this really happen? There's only one more piece that's missing to complete the puzzle, and it's to see the PS3 dominate like its predecessor. Good luck with that one. |
No... none of that actually happened.
1) There were PS2 "Shortages" but mostly Japan. That's why it took so long to launch in the US and EU. There were US and EU shortages too... but they were more like the Wii's shortages then the PS3s... well lack of demand.
2) DVD was already well established when the PS2 came out. Pretty sure it was actually bigger propotionally then Blu-ray is NOW.
3) No... it didn't happen.
