How many shops have you been in this Christmas and seen PS2 games being sold for £29.99 or less. Comet, Dixons, PC World they are all at it and the reason they can afford to sell PS2 games at that price is the fact they can offset the price against the many more sales they will get for that particular title.
Then ask yourself how many Xbox and GC titles you see for these sort of prices Sony make gaming affordable hell they even have Platinium games that are £20 or 2 of £30 in a lot of places.

I know it sucks but what the hell. I'm just gonna kick back and play some of the best games ever, I think we all pay far too much attention to the sales figures and not enough to the games.
Zelda, Metroid Prime, Resi Zero, 1080 White Storm, Killer 7, Skies of Arcadia, MOnkey Ball 2
and that's only a small selection
OH GOD YES!

The Nintendo GC should have come out in 2003 when it might get some descent games.
Maybe, but sales of the GBA (the biggest selling console on earth) and Pokemon will see them survive safely.

Problem is, their business model makes them pence now, while Sonys and Microsoft make them pounds later. When Nintendo finally twig that they're being backed into an abyss, they will have too small a market presence to come back with. They have done themselves no justice by handing Microsoft such an easy entry to the UK market.

Nintendo are a huge company, but compared to Microsoft and Sony they are minnows.
And longer production cycles cause delayed releases for multiplatform games on the GC.

I see that Top Score is still trying to prove to his PS2 that they shouldn't get divorced after all. Methinks Update 2.01 is haveing an affair though...

No Burnout 2 until Feb. Why the delay, I thought the GC was (and I quote) a developers dream machine. So why the delay? As I thought, they had to say some thing to make it sound good.

No Burnout 2 until Feb. Why the delay, I thought the GC was (and I quote) a developers dream machine. So why the delay? As I thought, they had to say some thing to make it sound good.
