Johnny Awesome said:Sega IS stupid enough to do this though. May as well put the final nail in the diehard Sega fan's coffin just so they can sell 100k copies on PS2 instead of 80k copies on Xbox.
Sonic said:Sorry Tag, but when it comes to SEGA and its games Johnny knows what he's talking about more than most people on this forum. The game would sell like crap on the GCN and even I will admit to that. It well sell a whole lot better on the PS2.

Funny thing is, I cannot confirm this to be true or not. I had no idea it was exclusive to the PS2, so it might not be true. If it is, then I had no prior information. If it is true then Yu Suzuki is an idiot to do that to all his fans. It would be much better off exclusive to Xbox than exclusive to the PS2, and I mean that regarding sales as well. If this is true and I have it my way then the game won't be published by SEGA in the US. Simple as that.
That's easy to do. Compare racing games on the GCN to the other consoles. Looks to me as if the other two consoles really have it better off when it comes to racing games. Outrun 2 would sell poorly on the GCN even next to a way inferior PS2 version.

Yeah, the only thing worth playing apart from fun racers is Burnout2 and maybe V-rally3.

Why? Compare most of Sega's GCN game sales to the other consoles.

Well, Fzero is a far bigger name than Outrun, and it has both sega and nintendo's names attached to it, and is exclusive and got great reviews, how well did it sell? I know it certainly wasn't a million seller, but if it was barely able to reach 200,000, then I doubt outrun 2 could.
Some pleasing news for you all.
Soul Calibur II sales data thus far:
GameCube: 245,000 units sold in the US
Xbox: 205,000 units sold in the US
PS2: 200,000 units sold in the US
Looks like Link is kicking both Spawn and Heihachi's butts, which is always good news.
It's a little surprising that XBox is outselling the PS2 versions. Given that GameCube has been dubbed as the worst console for fighting games (rather unfairly) these sales are music to my ears. It's also maybe a reminder of just how powerful cool exclusive characters can be...

Outrun 2 would sell poorly on the GCN even next to a way inferior PS2 version. The best I can give you as an example would be like having Sonic R2 on Xbox and Daytona 3 on GCN. In reality, it is the other way around, although both games never got past the concept phase. That is for home systems of course.
There's really not much use arguing it. I've got the detailed data sitting here and it's what I have to look at every other day.
If SOA really has people who make such decisions like you just did, I feel bad for them. I simply don't think the f.anboy logic has any place when it comes to business.If this is true and I have it my way then the game won't be published by SEGA in the US. Simple as that.
