Sega destroyed itself and the PS2 had an 18 month headstart over the other two competitors. With an installed base of about 20m before the Gamecube and Xbox even launched, Sony had already locked major third party support for the entire generation. What also hurt Nintendo and Microsoft a lot was that their consoles didn't really differentiate themselves from the PS2, so the consumers had to choose between three very similar systems. Unsurprisingly they picked the one which had by far the most games. With such enormous advantages Sony's first party didn't even play a role aside from Gran Turismo. GTA was the most important franchise last generation, so I have to say something about it. While it's true that all three games were also released on the Xbox, they never had a simultaneous launch with the PS2 versions. For at the very least six months, all GTA games were timed exclusive to the PS2. |
no argument there, but i'll just have to dissagree with (One million or two or three just aren't enough to argue that Sony's first party is capable of carrying an entire platform on its own.) cause those games you are referring to are the sole reason in own a PS3. evan as a nintendo fan. well you your self know why i on a wii! you may not want to hear the variety argument but it's legit.
i come to sony for everything, and nintendo for what i know will be great. but i do get what your saying. i just dissagree.
