Now I feel very good knowing GC and X-box never will catch up to Sony.

I was actually a little bit afraid that my PS2 was going too be killed by the X-box and the GC. I read on a forums that nobody would but a PS2 after the x-box was released. First I didn´t belive it but the more I visit teamxbox I started too go with the hype. I thought Damn x-box is actually going to break Sony.
When the numbers was released, that Sony sold about 5 million PS2 worlwide during christmas I feel very good. I now actually belives in Sony once again. I know that my PS2 is going to be the dominating force this generation. I feel very good about this and I don´t belive in x-box selling 10 million units in US this year.
I dont know but I don´t see Nintendo as a competition at all. I know they will sell million of GC the coming years. Pokemon will selll a lot of GC.
I think x-box will sell good but not near Sonys numbers.
I actually hopes that MS managed to attract the Japanese people. a couple of Million x-box there will only make the competition harder but I doubt we will se 1000:th of people standing in line for a x-box when it releases in Japan.

Hehe..
Well I never doubted Sony. PS2 sold about 20million units before Xbox and GC entered the market.. That’s a really big gap.

But I never really thought PS2 would outsell both Xbox and GameCube on their launch days.. (When I heard that they weren’t going to lower the price I remember thinking "What are you doing? You are giving them the edge!")
Christmas I knew Sony would sell the most.

We will see how both new consoles do over here in Europe (8 and 13 March I think they launch(Xbox/GC))
Sony has delayed MGS2 and ICO for March to counter the releases.. MGS2 will sell many systems so it looks like Sony will sell more once again..

This year will be very interesting.

ive been saying that all along

xbox and GC been out for 3 months, and PS2 is STILL selling more then those two combined

Look at PSone is it killed?  Nope and I think PS2 will never be killed unless PS3 can\'t play PS2 games. See the Xbox can\'t play DVD without the remote and don\'\'t have the optical output like the PS2, you have to buy both of them.  But PS2 can do these features out of the box.  I think PS2 sold more because they had more available games and Sony Playstation is a loyal company.

First, off I\'m not sure why you are worried if Sony is in trouble or not. Or why you ever was worried. Yes, the Xbox is doing extremely well in the US, but we haven\'t seen how it\'ll do in Japan.

As for Nintendo, they have said before they don\'t see Sony or MS has exactly competition. They are aimed towards a totally different demographic audience.

OH and as for the comment about Pokemon selling a lot of GC\'s... There hasn\'t been a Pokemon game announced for the GC yet.

How is Sony a loyal company?

Sony is a loyal company.

Well, lemme put this way :

Sega makes the Sega CD add on. Then produces the 32x. Then a few months later, Sega Saturn. So those who bought Sega CD, couldn\'t play 32X games. And 32x owners couldn\'t play the new Saturn games. And Saturn owners couldn\'t play the recently released games on Sega CD and 32x.

Sony made their PS2 backwards compatible for PSX games. That means, games you bought in August 2000 can be played on the PS2 you bought in Oct 2000.

PS2 sales was well above the 20 million mark plus a stagering 5 million X mas sales makes for a rather impreseive user base.

yup the PS2 might be seen as the weaker of the next gen consoles, but its user base andlist of exclusive titles makes for a mighty force INDEED !

Bossieman, that\'s what you get for listening to fanboys

In all the debates about which console can do what someone usually comes in and tries to remind everyone it\'s about the games. As much as I want to ignore that fact and see debates about console power continue without being side tracked, the games do mean everything. It\'s not just the  number of great PS2 titles that have finally landed, we have to also tack on the massive library of PSX games. What it adds up to is a huge boost in confidence to the average consumer the choice of a PS2 will retain a long lasting value.

Our arguments about next generation console power are akin to talk of which woman is better looking when all three are quite beautiful.

How come I don\'t sit around worrying about which system will sell the most units? Please explain the warm feeling you get when you see that Sony is selling boatloads of PS2 units. Is it brand loyalty?

Believe me, I want Sony to do well, but it seems that some of you guys would like to see the competition disappear.

I want to see all the systems do well so there is a healthy competition which can only mean better systems and games in the future.

Just curious.

<------ that\'s me laughing at you guys.

If this were on any other messageboard, you would be calling them all fanboys.

Oh No!!! PS2 only sold 128,000 units this week! If they don\'t sell over 100,000 M$ could catch up!!! NOO!!

Because you\'re not a fanboy like so many others...

MM, the Xbox and GC have been out exactly 2 months...not 3.

could be 6 months, it makes no difference.
they\'re both a year too late to make a difference

Someone could have come away from that post misinformed...just making sure that didn\'t happen.

How many consoles has Ps2 sold through anyway?  Is the number sold through over 20 million?? (not shipped)
