well, this is always a cycle when a new console is launched... since sony consoles last around 8 years everyone forgets about how it was bad mouthed at launch... its pretty funny though 120 million consoles funny... i bet this guy feels like a dumbass |
It was bad mouthed by one guy on a forum and apperantly almost no one agreed with this guy, tons of people posted counter arguments in behalf of Sony, and the guy was called a Sony basher. Apperantly no one remembers that either.
Here are other quotes from other posters:
- "P.S. playstation2 shall reign supreme, so let it be written, so let it be done."
- "I forsee PS2 being successful"
- "PSX2 WILL DO VERY GOOD.
I CAN TELL. I KNOW WHEN A SYSTEM IS GOING TO SELL ALOT AND
THE PSX2 WILL BE ONE OF THEM.! YOU WILL SEE!" - "that shows how viable and strong the market and capabilites of the playstation were. just imagine what they can do with the playstation 2."
- "I predict it will sell 1 and a half million pre orders alone in the U.S. and also 1 and a half million systems in the first week alone which will embarrass the dreamcraper."
Now there were some against it but hardly the anti-ps2 campaign many paint it as. Plus all the rips about it's price were because no one knew it yet, they were going off in some cases about a $500 price tag. Where the ps3 actually had a high price tag, so some of that was a misconception.
