There is no accounting for Taste.

Who are those 20 fools who bought a Gameboy? I think that's the Xbox's best week since the two weeks after launch. All from the power of Halo! And the Dreamcast only sold 600 - I hope KoF 2000 sells well when it finally hits...

Of the 20, one was a table game, 5 were sports games, 6 were action oriented... and the remaining 8 are RPGs or SRPGs. Sounds pretty evenly distributed among a lot of audiences to me, with quite a few games getting much more support there than they would in other countries... oh and the PS2 is also cheaper there too, nearly forgot to mention that.
And you can't see why it's selling so well?
Oh, wait, it's because they're wrong and you are right.
Heh.
Yes, they're wrong and I'm right. That's an example of what is called an 'opinion' Mine, specifically.
Who are all the punks buying PSone, GBC, and GameBoy systems when their younger brothers are backwards compatible ??Originally posted by jae_hoon_MOTW

A lot of us at TNL, like myself, like to see at least some of the market share going to a system other than PS2. Competition is healthy for the industry !! Except in Sega's case...Originally posted by dog$
