That's some pretty shocking logic. By your logic, no sequel in the history of games has ever sold more then it's predecessor? because the people who bought the sequel must have owned the original (and thus would already own the console).
If that were the case, developers would never make sequels (like epic and GOW2), because they know that they would only ever reach (at most) the amount the original sold, because only people who own the original (and who bought the console for the original) would buy it...
I know that it's the case that most sequels don't sell more then the original, but the quoted statement suggests that it never happens. Seriously, 8 million for halo 2 and 5 million for halo 1, goes to show that not every that wanted halo 2 already bought an xbox for the original Halo. I'm also sure that there are many people out there who buy games in a series and never played it's predecessor (I owned DMC3 first and then bought 1 a long time afterwards).
ANYWAY.. back on topic, like Dolla Dolla said, it's PR, no one is going to admit that a competitor has a better lineup. They'd be stupid to.
and lol at the PS3 fanboys trying to shoot down NG2. Seriously why the hate, the game isn't exactly a system seller (a great title with raving reviews maybe) and we should all be glad that there are still games out there that are actually hard, not like Mario Galaxy (Before Ninty fanboys attack, it was a great game, but if you think it's challenging, even to 120 stars, you seriously need to get some NGB or DMC3 action).
