I'm sure they bought a few games, but I don't think they would have thought of them as value to buy the system. And when I said most I meant the expanded audience he was talking about. |
Most casuals don't buy a system shortly after it launches (first 1 or 2 years), which is why truly casual games sell better later on in a console's lifespan (userbase also had to do with it too). Look at Wii games whose counterparts have sold a million on the PS2 (Spongebob games, Simpsons games). By the time most casuals were buying the PS2, it was probably grossly overpriced for a DVD player. They wanted to play games like Madden, Fifa, Singstar, Simpsons, I could make a list. Casuals are gamers who play lightly, they're not retarded. They know the difference between a $50-$100 DVD player and a $200 PS2.
