Lol Shadow... way to twist words.

Games are the MAIN factor, period

But it's only one of many factors. You said it was the "ONLY" thing before.

Lmao, twist... we are talking about consoles, not a PC... and even if we were, a PC has SOOOOOO many features that consoles couldn't do that makes up for the price.

those didn't come out at the wrong time, they just simply weren't sucsessful.. Some are add ons, one was hard to develop for, and the rest had no chance to begin with.

[Not neccessarily...think NES; saving isn't always pertinent- hell, I often go thru GCN games and erase them all and try to play thru without saving; same with PS2. Of course not with Xbox though...

lol, what a joke... first of all, when NES came out that wasn't a requirement... and second, you would rather have that save feature then not. Imagine trying to play "great" games ike Zelda OoT, or Metroid pime with no memory card... and lets not even imagine animal crossing.

They may, or they may not- keep in mind this ISN'T EVERYONE, which you were trying to claim at first.
And about your point regarding PS2's DVD, do you assume that EVERYONE bought a PS2 just as a DVD player? Your point is moot- you say the kids WANTED the PS2 for the games, thus the parents now know about it, and bought it instead as a DVD player. Would the PS2 even be known to their parents if the kids didn't want the games? I'm very sure these same parents didn't look at early 1999 demos of Tekken Tag tourney FMV's and drool about how nice a DVD player it would be- hell, that wasn't even announced until well after the initial specs were released in 2000.
Either way, games are the main factor, whether you want to admit it again or not.

No, don't get it twisted yet again.. YOU were the one saying "EVERYONE" buys consoles for Games... The fact is, the person who laid down the cash doesn't have to be in it for the games...
Also, I said Games are a main factor, but it's not the ONLY factor, like you are trying to say.

And on that same token, why isn't it selling at all in Japan, especially with the DVD feature, and why is it barely outselling GCN in US/UK even though TWO free games came with the system, selling some 2+ million units alone last year, against a system with no free game until recently?
|
Let's see... Japanese gamers are racist aginst american games/systems. Also, don't try to swing it back the other way for Nintendo's lack of sucsess in america, because America has urchased a Japanese made console more than ANYTHING.
If Xbox was made in Japan, it would be selling better, period.

Judging by your "timing", "hardware features", and "pricing" hypothesis, Xbox should be tearing the floor up with GameCube, which is hardly the case.
|
No, it isn't... Which system is priced better? Which system came out earlier (especially in Japan)? Xbox has the hardware features over GCN, that's it. GCN has Price, timing, and argueably games. n america though, Xbox has Timing, Hardware features, and argueably games.

Games are the MAIN factor of buying a console, and systems existence to boot.

And I repeat yet again, a main factor, not the only factor...
If it were the only factor, DC would have ate Ps2 alive at launch, butdid it, HELLLLLLLLLL no.
