 It's a shame Metroid Prime didn't sell very well, as its probably my second favorite game from last gen.
Also anyone notice that the first four letters of the  five highest selling  PS2 games start with "GRAN"
Coincidence or intentional?

I thought I would add the scores and ranking of the top 5 selling games on each platform

 So aside from one outlier, every top-selling game is highly rated, between 85 - 95%.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

When you're looking at these systems that is (for the most part) correct, when you start to look at the Nintendo DS many of the top selling games were not that well reviewed ...

I thought the more interesting number is the ranking; a game can be fairly low in the system's ranking and still end up being one of the top selling games.

Happy,
I appreciate this thread and info you have posted.

I think you have certainly highlighted the point you were making from the start.
