 Just to get technical, the PS2 won because it had no competition for a long time, both the GCN and Xbox were released too late last gen. Nothing against the PS2, I have one and love it, but don't try to pull "But last gen" stuff, because there are resons for every console in history that beat other console.

I disagree it had to compete with the Dreamcast. Gamecube and Xbox were only one year late PS2 won because it had the better games and more developer support.

SEGA was nearly bankrupt when the PS2 launched, SEGA was hoping the DC would be their savior, they were wrong, SEGA couldn't financially support the DC.

VF5 isn't an exclusive, it's being released on the 360 as well.

[QUOTE="odin2019"]Nintendo isn't going to last over the years though. Yeah sure it had strong start out of the gate but halfway through this race it won't be able to keep up its pace it will fall behind.ithilgore2006How do you know that exactly?
Simply think of wii sports 2 or the next madden game pretty you use the controller the exact same way as you did the first time and creative innovation is gone just like that. When MGS4 and the other big timer games come out for the other next gen consoles its gonna be all over just wait and see.

Nintendo will still be around in the next few years but the wii won't be the #1 next gen console, its just not going to happen. It takes more than a new controller to win a console war.

Sega was in no way a bigger threat than Microsoft.Exactly. People don't realize that MS has a 3 console plan to takeover the game industry. The first was to introduce a brand. The second is to further establish brand recognition, and marketshare. The third will be to take that #1 spot. In ms plan, does that include failing to gain much of the market with the xbox and ditch it after 4 years?Please Log In to post.
