> Why do I even bother.
I told you the majority prefers playstation, but you tried to prove me wrong, and that's impossible. The majority DOES prefer the playstation consoles, and the difference isn't slight, there is a BIG difference, that's an undeniable fact.

Who cares about all of these stats, Cusack? Zelda, in my opinion, is one of the greatest computer games ever and is only beaten by Shining Force 2 for the Sega Megadrive, Sonic for the Sega Megadrive and Space Invaders. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City might scrape into my top 5 games of all-time but Final Fantasy 7 wouldn't even make it the top ten. It is also unfair to compare the amount of PS2's sold to the amount of XBOX's and Gamecube's sold as PS2 has been out for much longer.

Hah!! MGS2 has sold 5 million copies just in Europe, and it is known that the number of sold ps2 consoles in the US was more then in Europe, so you do the math, maybe Zelda sold as much as Final Fantasy (up untill 9, which means not counting 10, X2, and 11), also do you know that Final Fantasy X-2 was the game that sold most copies in Japan in the year 2003? Not to mention that the ps2 has sold more than 70 million consoles worldwide, the Xbox more than 13 million and the Gamecube more than 9 million, meaning that the ps2 has sold more than both the GC and the XB together! And also don't forget that the ps2 version of GTA Vice City has sold more copies than any other console game in history, and it's profits were even more than Titanic! And don't forget that most of the good Japanese game developers release most of their exclusive games for the playsattion consoles, and finally, don't forget that the ps1 was the second best selling console ever, after the Gameboy.
So 9 Final Fantasy games have sold 22 million copies? You realise that Halo on the Xbox alone has sold over 7 million? It also sold a bunch on the PC.
Zelda as a series has sold waaay more than 22 million incidentally.

If you think that FF8 had a weak storyline, then that's just your opinion, the majority doesn't think so, and this majority also prefers mgs1 as the game with the best storyline ever, and the facts are that the final fantasy series has sold 22 million copies worldwide up untill ff9.
