Huh, I could have sworn the DS had the most sales ever - it certainly will in the end. In any case the DS shows that it quite possibly doesn't have any effect in the long term. |
There are certain arbitrary victories that can comfort the troubled mind. Things like having the most launch titles, having the highest selling HD re-make, or the most games that support a certain peripheral to some degree. It doesn't matter if it makes no sense why these certain things are chosen to be victories. Having the second most launch titles in twelve years? It's not the most ever. It's not even the highest number in twelve years. It's the second most. WTF? Just like having the highest selling "HD Remake" isn't the same as having the highest selling remake. Just like how having the most games that support a peripheral when many of those games are not successful critically or commercially or don't support the peripheral exclusively. All that matters is that, no matter how obscure or insignificant, it feels like a victory, even if it really doesn't matter.
