But I think you should also agree that if you compared the PS2's selection at the same point as the XBox and GCN are at now after launch, that the PS2 would be sorely in need of some great games.
Both XBox and GCN are far ahead of where PS2 was at this point after launch.
BTW, I thought SH2 sucked.

Some things in life just aren't fair. When I was at Nintendose and Ps2 wasn't even out for 3 months people said DC had a better library of games. Nintendo and Sega fans alike were bitching because Ps2's launch line-up didn't kill off 1 year (2 if you count Japan) of DC games.
In the casual gamer's eye, he walks to the store with $300... and all three systems just launched the day he got the money to buy one.
In my eyes, they are all the same too. Why? Maybe because Nintendo and MS could have had thier systems out in 2000... but they decided to wait and increase the quality. Thier decision to wait directly effected thier sales and the amount of games on thier console. Ps2 was kicking thier asses at launch, and Ps2 has no signs of slowing down.

If you look at the GCN and XBox and their upcoming releases, you can see that they are just getting warmed up, especially the XBox.

I think Xbox and Ps2 are just warming up... considering they will have the first console online wars. GCN just doesn't look that special in the future to me.
But the conversation is about what is happening now, and why casual gamers uy Ps2 over the competition. I doubt any casual gamer would say "GCN has
only been out for a year, so I should skip on games like FFX, MGS2, and GTA3/VC and but one"
No, they see it simple... it's GTA3, FFX, and MGS2 vs Mario, ED, and SSB:M... based on popularity, and quality, that's the reason Ps2 sells more. Compared to Xbox, it's the same way, the curve of quality gets closer, while the popularity seperates the games.
Call me a Ps2 fanboy all you guys want... but if GCN, Xbox, and Ps2 stopped having games developed for the rest of time, and I was forced to get one system and it's whole current line up, Ps2 wins, hands down.
