PS2 sales not too good
« on: June 29, 2001, 06:52:04 PM »
The ps2 sales are not to hot in Jpan at the moment.
But I\'m sure that will pick up with all the AAA games starting to come.

wow! I am surprised it has gotten so low, even DC isn\'t looking too bad when comparing the sales.

and DC is dead.

When a new game comes out (GT3) and everyone has to pay $100+ to fix their PS2 to play this new game, one has to wonder...

Maybe someone told them about the little men that live in the PS2 that come out at night and chew on your toenails.  If I knew about that before I bought my PS2 I wouldn\'t have gotten it either.

Oh wait, maybe \'cause it\'s so close to the launching of the other systems, they\'re gonna wait and see how the others look and choose one of the lot.

Or maybe it\'s because black went out of style.

Or maybe. . .

black consoles have never won a console race in terms of console sales.

SMS v. NES
Genny v. SNES
Saturn and N64 v. PSX
Gameboy v. Game Gear, Lynx, Turbo Express, and game.com

of curse all the next gen systems have black shells, expect GC you can get other, fruity colors.

1.) Theres not a lot of good new software coming out for the PS2 right now. Things will most certainly change when some of the summer/fall hits start coming out.

2.) The Gameboy Advance just came out in Japan and the U.S.... Its the "thang" right now.

So i should think the gameboy advance is out selling it 2:1, i mean for godsake look at the price difference of the two machines,if it wasnt  outselling ps2 then,if i was nintendo i would be worried.

How would you know since the sales numbers for GBA in the US haven\'t been released yet?

Um, those are pretty good numbers if you ask me. Do you have the initial Japan launch figures as well because I recall them to be pretty even with the american launch numbers after looking at that.
