Popular brands still see hardware spikes when a big new IP arrives and pushes those who were on the fence or waiting to take the leap though. |
Brand perception matters more, and no brand demonstrated that more than Sony with the PS2. Greatest selling dedicated home console ever by a staggering number, and it launched with what... SSX? Fantavision? Ridge Racer 5? Nobody gave a damn. They wanted, nay needed the PS2, and they went out in droves and got it... much to insistence of us Dreamcast players that it was over-hyped and not worth it, yet.
Man, did I have some adolescent, frivolous rage for that thing at launch. lol
