Seeing as how the PS2 is the best console ever made, handed down to us by gods, I'm not surprised.

Not to mention the PS2 was a lot cheaper.

I don't think that's true. Why? Because the PS3 + 360 have sold more than the Wii. The Wii has completely outpaced the PS2. So how could the HD systems not do it?

VHS to DVD is bigger jump in tech than DVD to Bluray. move people bought PS2 because it was a cheap dvd player

they should add the wii with ps3 and 360 against xbox gamecube and ps2. then it might be worth a story

You know, we were/are in the worst recession since the Great Depression...Contrary to what people will tell you, the gaming industry is not recession proof.

Actually, the 360 is only about 4.5 years old, and the PS3 is only about 3.5 years old.

IGN, man, that's a sad article.

However, I don't think either machine will fare well being the tough economy these days, and the high asking price when this generation started.

How did the Wii fare in all of this, after all, the Wii is the same age as the PS3...IGN, good job IGN.

That being said, there was some real graphics beauties on the DC, PS2, GC, and Xbox.

The console with the worst graphics was the first console to drop out last gen.

What the...?

I'm going to keep this simple.

The Sega Saturn was the rival of the PSOne and N64.

The Sega Dreamcast started last generation, which was followed by the PS2 a year later, and the Xbox and GC a year after that.

As you might know, the DreamCast came out earlier in Japan, but the Dreamcast launched on 9-9-99 in the U.S.A., not a hard date to remember. That's also the date of NIN's The Fragile as well.

Anyways, No one else can notice what the myth and you said regarding the PS2 being the weakest Hardware last generation, since it's simply wrong.

Not a big deal though, people forget about the Dreamcast all the time.

People will talk about the recession until they're blue in the face, but the simple truth is that the PS3 and 360 are just not as appealing to the average person as the PS2 was.

Ps2 was cheaper and had a crap load of games, plus it brought dvds in.

It doesn't mean that the consoles SUCK nor would sales indicate that at all unless they were extremely low. I don't understand how this is a laughable subject seeing as how both consoles have sold well in the millions.

You also have to look at the fact of how many consoles this generation are selling compared to last generation which was completely dominated by the PS2. While this generation may be dominated by the WII, both the ps3 and xbox 360 will break the 40 million mark. IF you added all the console sales up at the end of this generation you will probably get a similiar number to those of the last generation in overall sales of all consoles combined. Xbox sold 24 million UNITS, xbox 360 is almost at the 40 MILLION mark (That's getting close to double the amount sold as the original xbox)

Wii is at the 70 million mark while the gamecube only sold 21 million units. (That's about 3.5x as much as the gamecube)

so why is the PS3 not selling as much as the PS2? Because a lot of the consumers who had a PS2 bought Wii's and Xbox 360's instead this generation.

What you're seeing is Nintendo and Microsoft doing way better then they did last generation, and the only way they can do better is if they are taking sales away from sony because there is only so many consumers (Consumers that are dividing a lot more then they did last generation) This doesn't mean the PS3 is selling bad either it just means that it's selling worse then the PS2 because the Xbox 360 and WII massively cut into the PS2 numbers this generation.

Look at it like a piece of pie. Sony had 6 pieces of pie, nintendo had 2 and microsoft had 2. Nintendo then stole 2 pieces of pie and Microsoft stole 1 leaving Microsoft with 3, Nintendo with 4 and Sony with 3.

While this is not exactly accurate this generation it's a good way of explaining how it currently is.
