Oh dear. you don't think sony games were bundled back in the ps1 days? get real man.
If Nintendo had BILLIONS of dollars like sony, then the developers would have bent over backwards and asked "how high" when told to jump, and took it just like they did with sonys money.
Define big for me? because a lot of SHITTY PS1 games sold big due to sony advertising (their damn advertising was EVERYWHERE in the UK, even god damn nightclubs)
You keep saying i wonder how SEGA could not compete with sony, so i will SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........... they did not have the financial or advertising muscle that sony had...... what part of SONY DID NOT EARN, BUT BOUGHT THEIR SUCCESS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
Lastly, Sonic sold very solid on both Japan & the UK/Europe, so whats that got to do with anything?

Yeps, I don't remember any games being bundle with the PS1. Maybe it was different in your region. Can't say.
Nintendo had more than enough money to buy exclusives. They do now - why don't developers support them now that Sony doesn't have the cash?
For me big is 3M+.
But wait, I'm talking about the Sega Genesis era where only 3 games sold more than 2M - the PS1 wasn't around back then. What happened there?
Also, you can put it on the marketing dollars if you wish but, ultimately, Sony turned gaming into more than just a kid's hobby.

Well i agree and disagree with some points you guys are exchanging, but as a resident Brit I can confirm there wasn't fuck all bundled with the PS1 here either, Dualshock controllers didn't even come with the system in EU until around late 1998.
