Stolen from Neogaf, PS2 numbers only for North America.
VonGak! said:Oh well to Gamespot we go:
68 PS2 games released in the year of 2000
193 PS2 games released in the year of 2001
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2002
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2003
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2004
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2005
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2006
200+ PS2 games released in the year of 2007
There's a search limit of 200 so PS2 had pretty much 200+ games released every single year and this is only for North America.
BTW, THIS is for 2000+2001 so you can see it's not cumulative numbers.
Can we quit the bot mentality now please?
EDIT: I doubt that there's enough expansion packs and Poké mon esque gold/blue/turd esque titles to make these numbers invalid.
I'm sure they will release a chit ton of games but the publisher support does not seem to be as surefooted as it was for PS2 which tells me to take these comparison numbers with a grain of salt. (although there are a ton of 360 ports still coming down the pipeline as well)
Sony is (and has been) saying, just wait... you will get the price and product you need to us and to the devs it seems. One good thing for them is Sony can produce a bunch of games themselves even without all the 3rd party support.

yes. Count them in. these are the games that define the platform, not the other 350 average joe multiplatform titles. that is what i intended.
so fuck them 350 games gimme THE GOOD TITLES. I am talking NEXT GEN HERE NOT SOME PS1 downloadables. Anyway can't wait to see the RELEASE LIST
I missed out on a lot of GREAT PS2 games so if they can make em DL and cheap (~$15) this will definitely be a huge plus; however, the price has to come down some.
yeah i see that 60GB Storage space shrinking, FAST.
I dont know why you are so angry and rant about it but out of these 350 titles there could be 10 more great games on top of the ones we know, and even more simply good games.
350 titles is a promising fact no matter how you see it. There is no way 95% of them will be 5-6/10 or below crappy games. There will be games that will suck, games that will be scored at around 7-7.5, games that will be at around 8-8.5 and games that will be at around 9-9.5.
Besides consumers respond to a plethora of games as well and not to a couple of good games only.
Wii doesnt hold a candle next to 360's offerings in terms of quality, still the fact that it has a plethora of games to choose from is also a huge plus for it on top of the other "advantages" it has.
So? Should Sony offer less games online for people to choose from just because 60GBs arent "enough"?

More like he is excited at the prospect of all the good and cheap ps2 games being downloadable or he is being sarcastic because he thinks sony would never put them up for a good price. Either way, your assumption is most likely wrong.

Stefan is smart.
There's probably a good 40-50 games that won't make it out of japan too I would guess.
The 145 figure is for NA. I'd hazard to guess how 380 was counted and of them, how many may or may not see releases in different territories. But we have a solid figure for NA at least.
Hmm perhaps you are right.
I am not angry. I dont care if they count 1 game twice, one beeing NTSC the other PAL. I'd only play 5% - 10% out of them anyway, but bullshitting people.
I don't know, should they?
It doesnt matter how much you as an individual will pay. The important thing is the availability of games and especially good games for the total consumers to choose from.
Some will want to pay for a different "10%" you are willing to pay. And if their "10%" list of games isnt there they wont pay anything at all or they will pay an even less fracture.
All consoles have crap games and good games. None of us payed for all of them. Not even 5% of all the thousands of games available. Yet the availability of games made more and more people join, due to the variety of preferences the library could satisfy. Johnie payed for 5 "green" games, Paul payed for 4 "green" and 3 "blue" games, and Stacy for 3 "red" and 1 "green" games etc, out of the hundreds or thousands of games available.
Are you asking "should they offer more games" there?
If you dont have an opinion on that you shouldnt have commented before
