The guy already wants to leave the thread, take it slow.

At the end of the day it's not a binary question, 10s of significant factors are at play in the success of a console in any region. To say it is just that games cater to the region is much too simplistic. The virtual boy might have had all the games to appeal to japan it still would've failed.

My point is that while the game library is very important, it is not true what Rol said that it is the only thing that matters. Esp. For portables, we have brand name and battery life to factor in, price, lifecycle (ex GBA was cut short by the DS), competition, etc.

If he wants to leave he's free to do so I don't get this part of your reply comes across as antagonistic tbh.

I'm going to call out this logic because look at all the platforms that did have the range of games they did well and the differences between the platforms you may not agree with Rol but he's historically backed up by the performance of platforms that did have what he pointed out and those that didn't have it.
