Yeah, I always thought the PS2 thing was funny. But look at the alternatives, we have the GameCube, which really didn't have that much going for it. Unless you were a Nintendo fan, there just were not that many games that were GC exclusive. Xbox had a lot better games than GC did, and some extremely good Xbox exclusives, but I think the PS2 really rode off of the fame and popularity of its older brother and its wide variety of games. Not to mention all the fanboys who were waiting in line to buy them even back when virtually no games for it existed.

The PS3 is pretty cool. I still haven gotten over the Spider-Man movie font it uses for its logo, but it is a really slick system and the Blu-Ray player just makes it that much better of a system. PS2s ability to play DVDs wasn't that big of a deal, but given that the PS3 came around during the middle of a format war and when HD players where at top dollar, it really adds a lot of value to the system. Now that Blu-ray has won out, it'll make the PS3 an even more practical buy. I think the PS3's problem as far as low sales goes, is that it is pretty expensive. You can get a Wii for half the price. Even at its reduced price of $450, it is $100 dollars more than the Xbox.
