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  

I'm pretty sure PS2 still saw hardware spikes when games like say Gran Turismo 3, MGS2, Final Fantasy X, etc released and pushed a bunch of people who were on the fence or still waiting to run out and buy one.

Yeah, but it sold without them.
