Phil Spencer: Sony buying third party games, all to do with money, not market share

Shocker is that just now you are saying it's your preffered console, and that is fine... but before you were implying the console was the best period.

If you weight how much less the adapter and extra controller were for PS2 compared to Nintendo controllers or worst yet the cost of the game than you can't say with a straight face that GC was cheaper to have a great time.

Pac-man was a very fine game for fun local co-op.

 

I love Nintendo for local co-op, the problem nowadays is making friends come together to even play those games.

I only bought one extra controller, my friend had two others, so combined we had 4. :p

And I used my GC controllers a lot during the Wii era itself, so pretty good investment.

As for games, GC and PS2 games were the same price iirc. I usually buy games at launch anyway, so I don't mind paying full price, it's better than waiting for price cuts!

The post I quoted in the beginning stated it as a fact that the GC was no match for the PS2, so I did the same to give him a taste of his own medicine. :)

And yeah, it's getting harder and harder to have friends come over. But that's why we force our girlfriends to play with us. xD

having a friend bring controllers is always good... on PS1 I bought 8 controllers and 2 multitaps to play fifa with 8, worked only 2 times then guys tired out.

My wife doesn't play much =[

GC was no match in sales, but was a fantastic machine and had great games, even though I have some difficulties playing N64 and GC due to playing little and the controller being quite different than the DS.

I abhor competitive online, but I kinda like the idea of online co-op, the problem is that we can only get that for very few games (oww RC all for one allows very good local and lan 4 co-op) and everyone needs to have the game (plus and sharing helped a little), but DS idea of one person having the game and the others joining like in MK is fantastic.
