This is only part of the reason, I'm sure.

But having been to an under 18s club last night, I was surprised to see about 20 Playstation 2 Demo pods around the walls of the club.

Genius.

They've got the right demographic there. Under 18s who will play games with their friends between dancing, and people who will go off and tell their mates about 'the great game i played at the club'.

Their marketing guy is a genius.

Sony have got the business side mastered, but we'll always give OUR respect to the artists that make LIFE out of the hardware.

Thankyou Nintendo, Sega, Rare, other devellopers, etc. :-)

How dare you let Fifa represent the PS2.

Hmmmmmm. Yes they've got casual gamers eating out of their hand but for those after a bit quality and a bit less quantity, a bit more originality over endless 'cookie cutter' games and prefer something like Zelda over the likes of Fifa then there's always the other two.

DEATH TO QUANTITY OVER QUALITY.
