I know people who have done this they have gone out and got a PS2 with 4 or 5 games and just left it under the TV and when I ask them why they got it they all say cuss it’s kool. Not one of them went well I wanted this game or this thing it was just kool. Now I’m not saying every PS2 owner is that brain washed I’m just saying over here at lest 60 to 70% of them are.

Also I stand by what I said and I think The Game is acting a bit stupid on this! No one should have monopoly on the Games market and if we let Sony do just that we will be the ones who will have to live with it Higher cost games and consoles does not sound very good to me plus Sony would have complete control over the market pushing small game developers out of the way.

I'm not saying anybody should have a monopoly on the games market I like it fine just the way it is. I'm saying that if there were a Monopoly, I wouldn't want Nintendo or Microsoft having the "only" system. We already know hoe MS is...
Then look at Nintendo, building off of the sucsess of NES and SNES, they built the masterpiece called N64.
Building off the sucsess of Gameboy they made Gameboy pocket... then Gameboy color... then Gameboy advanced! Makes me wonder why handheld games are advancing so slow.
As a fan of sports games there is no way in hell I would want Nintendo and thier small memory space habbits ruling the console world... I would rather have micrsoft!!!
Not to say that I would want a monopoly, I just wouldn't want Nintendo with the grip on the industry.

I can just see Nintendo getting around about 20% of the market share this generation and going **** this and not making another home console (Which would be a very sad day indeed). IF Sony runs away with this the Games market as we all know and love it over.

Dreamcast died didn't it? Genesis died, didn't it? But did Sega die? NO
If GCN died I wouldn't give a rat's ass... especially after seeing my favorite sports games like Madden, NBA Live, and NBA 2k2 suffering major cutbacks. Then seeing all the Rare games and THQ/Aki wrestling games gone... GCN has no use now. I would be glad if Nintendo became a 3rd party developer. It's not like they are doing anything so great with GCN that it can't possibly be done as a third party.
Before GCN launched, I expected it to be the best system in the batch, and it ends up being the worst (for me).

And Yes I have checked up on what I have said and yes Console almost always sale there best in the second year on the shop floor In fact out of the top 10 best selling games Consoles of all time only one has not sold better in it second year and that was the N64. So yes I would say know that sales of the PS2 which have been VERY high will start to dip down next year by how much I do not know.

I think console sales will do all the diping, but the game sales will remain strong until hype of a new upcoming system arises.

You must have bought that Ps2 for it's "cool" factor huh? If GCN is cheaper and better, why not buy one?
