minus-squareBoneheadlinkfedilink20•29 days agoYou forget how ridiculously difficult and expensive it was to buy a PS2 when it was released.
minus-square520linkfedilink8•29 days agoPS2 released in 2000. By 2002, Dreamcast already went under and Xbox and GameCube were about to release.
minus-squareBoneheadlinkfedilink15•29 days agoYes, and the PS2 was still more expensive than anything else on the market at the time. Plus there were shortages. I didn’t even see a PS2 until mid 2002 when a coworker finally got one and invited us over for a party.
minus-square@cm0002@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•29 days agoThere were PS2 shortages. There were PS3 shortages. There were PS4 shortages. There were PS5 shortages. At this point we might as well just add another year or 2 to whatever Sony says is the launch date for any future PS’s lmao
