However Sony has as much credit for creating the PS2 as Nintendo does. I mean other then the hardware itself Sony isn't responsable for any of the PS2's success. Third parties built the PS2 not Sony. It wasn't Sony's games that pushed the 10-million mark with one or two exceptions. It was GTA, Final Fantasy , MetalGearSolid that pushed the PS2. It was the DVD movies that pushed the PS2. Sony had very little to do with the PS2's success! I mean the console was cheapest to develope on and third parties launched what like 20x the amount of games that Sony themselves did. Even today PS2 is selling but not because Sony is any good but because their is a large third party library of games. Sony is being put to the test right now. Can Sony stand on its own two legs without the third party exclusives. No the PS3 is bombing horribly! Sony is the most over rated monopoly in the world!
Is the GameCube under rated? Yes it is, the GameCube has a library of AAA-class. I for one own 32-First party Nintendo games and about a dozen third party games. The GameCube has far more value then many notice! |
Heck, Sony didn't even have a launch game for the PS2. Fanta-Vision came out about a month later. It's like Sony did everything (no launch games, defective systems, confusing start up) to sabotage their own system. Still, in the end, the PS2 was the place to be. It just took about 8 months.
