Ask almost any one on the street what come into there head when you say Games console and they will almost all say PSone ,PS2 or Sony! and that comes from hype, Alot of people got a PS2 just cuss they had a PSone again thats hype they did not know if the PS2 was any good they just got one (I know I got one just cuss of the hype). hype hype hype hpye hype it can make almost any thing sell.

Would you disagree with this?:
"One of the reasons why PS2 is selling so much better than its competition is because most gamers would say that it has the superior game quality."
Also, you make it sound as if just ANYONE could create hype. Positive hype, at least
. Let me give you an example. Two companies advertise a similar product on TV. One, by nature, will produce more hype than the other. There's a reason for that. Maybe it's because one company had the better advertising campaign. Maybe it's because one company was known for its quality in the past. Maybe it's because people heard good things about the one product, and the commercial peaked their interest. Whatever the case may be, it all boils down to what each company did. If people look at PS2 commercials and say "wow, I gotta have one of those" then
Sony has done a terrific job in advertising.
But then, my friend, you must know that hype can only take a product so far. It can give it the kick in the pants it needs to get rolling (PS2 launch, anyone?) but sooner or later the hype dies down if the product is crap. Let's face it...if a company tried to sell small boxes @ $50 per box, they won't be successful. They could have the best advertising campaign in the world, but they won't sell 50 million of them.
In the end, quality reigns supreme...people can think for themselves and form respectable opinions. Nobody's forcing them to buy anything.
