For the record;
I don\'t think the US PS2 launch was weak at all and used the idea it was for the sake of the argument since I thought what QuDDus was trying to say was frail enough already. Considering the stores couldn\'t keep PS2s in stock for almost six months after launch, I feel the weakness of the lineup isn\'t worth much debate, despite how strongly some individuals might feel it failed to measure up. Also, the ‘weak launch\' issue is made by totally ignoring backwards compatibility, a feature adding an extra shot of confidence that paying the launch price would be money well spent.
If anyone wants to argue PS2 launch graphics were the problem then they might have a point. The thing is though PS2 only needed to kick PSX ass at launch, not DC, a luxury the xbox does not have.
