Give the console a break! In England anyway its only just been launched. Considering its the middle of spring its doing rather well. The PS2 being cheaper will be more attractive to most people at this time.

If it was Christmas when people spend more the figures would be different.

except that Sega actually had good games  :)

keep telling yourself these things Rikku, they dont always come true..


Here\'s the catch though...MS actually has money.  Sega was in the red and couldn\'t afford to keep going or pushing the product.

When they have something worth pushing, I\'m sure they will.  I expect a pretty big media onslaught when they go online this fall.

Being that PS2 only has 4 games worth owning for me (3 now, I got rid of ICO)...I would hope someone else would step in and stick around for a while.

Oh yah, I appreciate you giving me the go ahead to think whatever I want...

Me thinks,

1.) your not even trying to look
2.) you should buy a nice PC beacuse you obviously favor PC games

I\'ve tried MGS2, GTA3, State of Emergency, Wave Rally, Devil May Cry, ICO, Jak and Daxter, Shadow Hearts, Dark Cloud, Twisted Metal Black, Final Fantasy X, Splash Down, Klonoa 2, Tekken...

I own J&D, DMC, and FFX...everything else is no more than a rental IMO.

I spent 300$ on PS2, why wounldn\'t I try to look?  

The only games I favor on PC are the Sim games...

/me nods back with disapproving look on face

We\'re coming to same terms again...

I use to have a somewhat optimistic view on just about anything...I\'ve been shot down to many times to get back up. . .

Wow, im the ONLY one here that wasn\'t impressed with J and D and several of the othe games that Rikku mentioned, but Im not impressed with ANY of the so called AAA titles on Xbox(yet)  Im waiting for a game that doesn\'t use the blur effect all the time.  

The blur in wreckless is god awful, i can\'t pick up the game with out having to sheild my eyes.



Edit: Im still waiting for some good Xbox games to get. If not, im selling it.
R.I.P SNK.
