Only managing 200 games out 2,700 that passed a million copies, the PS2 must've been the worst console ever.

It has a userbase of like 140 million, and only 200 games could sell above 1 million. The core gamers must've been disappearing after 2005, because even Shadows of the Colossus didn't hit 1 million (according to VGChartz). This generation is doing so much better.

What a disappointment.

Kind of surprised that it only had 200 million sellers.

Wonderful sarcasm buddy but it really does show what market saturation does. With those many consoles sold the chances increase of people just not playing the console or buying games for it.

Like sethnintendo said it is very surprising there are only 200 million sellers.

Edit - Such incomplete data on this website for PS2 games *shakes head*

Wow, can you beat in your point any harder? Anyway I'd like to do a little experiment. I would like a single Nintendo fan to admit to a flop on the Wii. Any game, don't really care what, just admit that one game probably lost money. It seems we have this idea that HD games need a minimum of 500k sales to make a profit, but Wii games can be made off of 5 dollars and a Unicorn fart (a value of probably $3.68)

I'll even start you out. Lair and Haze flopped immensely hard and probably lost their respective companies large sums of money.

Now your turn, and it doesn't have to be a huge flop like the two I listed, just anything that flopped at all.
