PS2 actually won over casuals, at the time it was the cheapest DVD player on the market.

So audio/visual/tech nerds or just people that wanted a nice little set up for their TV, got a PS2 out of necessity. That acted as a gateway into gaming.

No man. What are you talking about? Yea, their games aren't super complex, but they've been like that since the 80s.

The problem w/ the industry is the shareholders not giving af about it and just tryna Make a quick flip


Wrong forum btw

Cool, but people not into video games, playing video games, didn't start with the Wii. It started with the PS2, for the reasons I said.

I got old ass EGM, Gamefan, Gamer's Republic, Game Pro, etc. magazines from back then in storage. Video games hit mainstream due to the push from Sony.

From the early 80's up to the early 2000's, Nintendo was the GOAT.

Nintendo fell off heavily when they released Gamecube. PS2 and Xbox was running shyt in the early 2000's.

Nintendo came back with the Wii and the DS

Nintendo didn't dumb down the gaming industry, they were the innovators and trendsetters.

Wii was more of an interactive friendly system for all ages. Still playable till this day

Video games are already dumb on their own, you just sit down and press a couple buttons
