| jonathanalis said: I wonder why GC didnt work. An usual controller, powerfull console, cheaper than the others(man, 99$ at 2 years from launch), no software droughts, strong Nintendo line up, new nintendo IPs, more thrid party support than Wii U. GC had implemented what everybody is complaining why Wii U is not selling. But why didnt GC sell? |
Image and PS2. The consoles virtually were identical in power. The GC had the image problem, 1.5GB discs, if games where too large, they had to be printed on two discs. Causing companies not want to bother. And why bother, when the PS2 is raping everything else. You go for the leader, period. There was nothing to gain from being on Nintendo's side. Price reduction doesn't always help. The GC proves this. Even if it's cheap, who cares.
Your friends have a PS2. Why waste your time. Even if you liked Nintendo games. It's only a few wants VS 100 potential wants on a PS2, over 5 years. I was the only person in my group of friends who never bought a PS2. And only a GC. I regretted that ever since. I lost out of games for years. While everyone was talking about DBZ Buodkai 3. I was clueless. Kingdom Hearts was totally unknown to me, till the remasters on the PS3 now. Friends playing themes from KH in music class. And I'm the only dumb ass who didn't know where they were from.
