GC had most of the third parties and a lot of the biggest classics of the generation (Metroid Prime 1&2, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4, F-Zero GX, Mario Sunshine, Pikmin 1&2, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros Melee, MK Double Dash, etc etc etc), now everyone praises the console and is widely considered one of the very best consoles ever, yet it was mockered on its time even worse than WiiU, we all know that. And no, the main reason why Ps2 sold 150 milions is because it was the cheapest DvD on the market, even my grandmother had one, and she havent played a game on her whole life, don´t fool yourself. |
It also had Singstar.
If Wii Sports/Wii Fit was the reason a lot of the casual crowd gravitated towards the Wii, singstar was the reason for them to gravitate towards the PS2. Yet contray to the Wii, it gets remembered as this hardcore dream machine, when in reality just as many casuals bought into the ps2 as they did into the Wii.
You don't get to a 100m+ install base without enticing casual/non-gamers. That goes for every console/handheld console. In order to sell that many units, a console has to become a cultural phenomenon, something universally reconized. And that's fine.
