With all the hype in the world. Remember all those stories about how the PS2 was some sort of super-computer that Saddam Hussein was going to buy millions of to power his nuclear program? Didn't matter that Dreamcast's lineup was 10x better until its death. Didn't matter that Xbox and Gamecube had better hardware. Didn't matter that Gamecube and Xbox both had better exclusives (and Xbox had most of PS2's lineup as well). All that mattered was the hype, momentum, and that it came out at a perfect time to double as the first DVD player for millions of families. nah... the ps2 had a slow start but after gran turismo 3 came out, it was one killer game after the other non stop. |
