They don't care, cause even with an inferior console this generation, Sony was the superior brand.
agreed
I can believe how the first ps2 looks...
I was playing soulcalibur and sega rally or house ofthe dead, and whoo it was pleinly ugly to me no matter the hype.
Anyway i sell that poor dreamcast before her official dead, would have been stupid to loose money.
Anyway i've never consider bying the ps2, in the time between i've consider the xbox but i've keep up with my PC. The ps2 have always look like a step back for me, is this revelant?
Nope, 100 millions (i can remerber, probably more)) PS2 shoot console gamer don't give a shit about graphics. (i should moderate this because Sega have financial problems and some more time time could have easily open consumer eyes even if the dvd appeal was hight at this time)
(revolution is an interesting bet for Nintendo time will tell).
One thing, i've so a lot of people buying PS2 because of the easy copyed game (sorry for devs) and for the cheap dvd player built in.
At this point, i think hdtv is still an unrevelant part of the market (i don't see bluray have the same impact as say dvd) and we know nothing about the copy of BR.
I think piracy is part of the market, it have to be be keep low, but lot of causual gamers buy 2/3 game per years (i know lot of causual gamers) but need more titles for keep interest in the system.
It's weird for the devs and editors but MS choice (dvd) can helps when both console will reach a reasonable volume (say in 2/3 years).
the basic thinking of causual gamers ok there a lot of guys with this system i can have lot of game for free, does copy easy on that system....GO
online service added value to game is a good way to keep piracy in a reasonable marging.
Sorry it's late i'm going awfully off topic
