Humm, so 155 million of user bought PS2 only for Gran Turismo. Seem legit... sarcastic mode off

Seriusly, i didn't say PS2 has not good exclusive (it has awesome games) but the TRULY reason of those sales, yes, is the marketing. Just accept this.

you have to understand that ps and xbox owners aren't like nintendo fans.  ps and xbox owners buy those console for the whole library, obviously the sales are going to be more spread out.  most nintendo fans buy the console for nintendo games only, that's why ninteno games sales varies hugely depending of the install base, this is also the reason nintendo games has huge attach ratio unlike ps and xbox conole.

We don't talk about PS and XBOX VS Ninty

We talk about Ninty and XBOX VS PS

The point is: the PS2 sold so much BECAUSE the marketing, and the people can say that PS2 have the better of the better games ever, that's change nothing.

The DS has sold like a monster. why? because Pokémon... because Mario... yes... but the bigger reason is the marketing ( that many people call "casual" , this word is used only for the Nintendo marketing recently... )

The PS2 was also my first console. (i was a kid, and my dad buy this console because he, like me, didn't knew what was XBOX or GC)

Like all of my friends. All with a PS2, and they even knew what was one GameCube, or one XBOX...
