| Davy said: Noone bought PS2 for first party exclusives. It was the platform you could play all third party games. |
I disagree with both. PS2 had more third-party games than Xbox or GameCube, but there was still some overlap. PS2 first-party games could be a deciding factor, even if only for 5-10 million customers.
I think N64, GCN, and Wii U sales show there is a floor for people buying Nintendo platforms almost exclusively for Nintendo games. And I think that floor for Nintendo home consoles is around 5-10 million customers.
In all fairness, I think across the industry there are about 5-10 million customers in that broad range who will buy a platform for exclusives. Saturn and Dreamcast both sold over 5 million but below 10 million.
