How do you know that PS2 domination meant that the games that generation got better? In my view, 7th Gen is by far the greatest generation gaming has ever seen. We had amazing sales, lots and lots of exclusives, insanely great games in TLOU, mass effect, gears, halo, uncharted and so on.
We also had an indie scene that grew massively, awesome 2D games and cheaper games than the generations before.
Yeah, competition creates greatness and more great games for gamers. |
And in my opinion the PS2 generation had better games. Opinions are opinions and I clearly stated in OP that it was my opinion. You stating yours wont change mine. Like I said games 7th gen had bugs because of the potential to maximize profit but pushing out unfinished games because all three brands had large install bases.

so shouldn't your thread title be "my opinion about the platform/generation myths".
And you shouldn't be pushing your opinions as facts anyways.
That being said, I do agree with you that games alone don't sell hardware. Can't say I agree with the no competition thing though... especially if you consider that without competition there is a lot we wouldn't have today. I don't even think things like PS+, PSnow, competent online gaming and infrastructure...etc would be a thing. Just look at the WiiU.

And how do you KNOW "there is alot we wouldn't have today"? Are you psychic? If PS3 had dominated at $600 how do you know what would have turned out?

You do not have to be psychic, you only have to look at how Sony responded to XBL during the PS3 era. You only have to look at Sony today and the priority they have taken with features they announced before the console release. So think about it, when Sony was behind and fighting for marketshare from the 360 they instituted a lot of changes. Now that they are ahead, they have taken their time to do things and priorities are different because selling 10 million without really putting in an effort to at least adopt features in the PS3 isn't hurting sales.
