This thread has really gone sideways.

Getting caught up, it looks like the new argument is that the PS2 was not successful in Japan, despite being the best selling home console ever. (When it was released/lifecycle)

Pretty crazy stuff. zeldaring, when you start dogging the PS2s success, it might be time to log off and go outside for a while.

edit:  new famitsu numbers are out. Nintendo clean sweep again, someone make sure Zelda is in a safe place.

I said look at the context. Despite home console sales seeing a explosion in growth North america and europe, in japan it was already near peak with the nes. ps2 gen was the peak for what traditional  home consoles could sell only doing 4 million then nes shows the console home market was only gonna go down from there, and  even with the massive success of the wii that gen still sold less home consoles then ps2 gen.
