Stopped reading after "The true leaders of this gaming revolution are in fact, none other than Sony with its PlayStation 2."

NES and SNES say hi.

i loved the NES and SNES...but it was a hardcore system... sorry.......


And the PS2 didn't have hardcore games? lol. The NES and SNES actually brought gamers in. It doesn't matter if it had hardcore games or casual games or whatever. The point is that they brought in gamers. That's the whole point.

that is clearly NOT what the article was saying but as i see you didnt read it because you said you stopped reading.....

All its saying is that the mainstream took ONE system seriously before the Wii and that was the ps2.... I mean you no the PS2 sold more then the NES and SNES COMBINED right? that in itself means a lot of casuals bought it as their first system and they did so at a rate much faster then NES and SNES.

yes nintendo brought about 50 millions Hardcore and casual gamers in.... but sony brought 120 million hardcore and casuals in with the ps2 (not even counting the ps1)...thats means sony hit a much bigger market then nintendo has ever done so far which also means sony brought in the casuals and nintendo is building on that......

thats what it said lol.


That's under the assumption that everyone who bought the ps2 was a gamer.


 and that everyone buying one in teh last three years was a new customer and not someone replacing the broken system or upgrading to the slim version
