989 Having problems with the PS2?

IMHO, next years football choices won\'t be made on the graphical achievements or shortcomings of the 2 games as much as it will be on which type of gameplay you like. Plus with the ability to download college football players to your mem card for draft on game day....hmmmmm tough choice

As far as anyone is concerned, the N64 was a milestone in the video game business, and still has great games destined for glory.  As for your theory of PS2 turning out like N64, we\'ll maybe your right.

N64 was the finest multiplayer system ever made.

And the N64 set records for its time also

Yes.  PS2 like the N64?  N64 set records, then died after hype slowed down.  Know why?  NO GAMES.  Damn, guys.  It had maybe 5 launch titles.  Then, the cartridges caused LONG waits between titles.  Not only that, but very few genre\'s were covered.  Not only that again, but fighting and sports were completely missing!  As were RPG\'s!  A big no-no in America and Japan.  N64 survived on pure hype and Mario at first.  This is NOT the case with the PS2.  There are already close to 40 games for the machine - many sports, many fighting, many RPG\'s.  PS2 is not like N64.  Not remotely close.

Add to that a PSX which had a one year headstart on the N64, and it\'s easily understandable why the big N struggled.  What\'s the PSX of this generation?  Hmmm?  There is no way ANYTHING this generation is like last generation.   PS2 = N64?  Not even close.

Hey Ktulu,
you said that with just the right words.
There\'s ppl saying Sony will fail like Nintendo
did last time : according to that theory :
Nes= succes, SNES= succes, N64= less succes.
then
PSX= succes, PS2= succes, PS3= less succes.
So it would turn out allright for PS2 after all.
;But this is not a valid theory at all \'cause
times have changed once more.
