>Noooo no one played on PS2! Everyone only ever played on Nintendo consoles! Only Nintendo was ever good! Nintendo invented every genre and the genres that it didn't invent don't matter because they're bad!
Imaging coping so hard because your console got outsold more than 7 times by PS2.
To dispel this myth once and for all:
GC sold ~22 million units total. PS2 did ~158.
PS2 had 162 games that sold over 1 million units, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_PlayStation_2_video_games
GC had just 35, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_GameCube_video_games
Combined, just those PS2 games sold 403 mln units, and GC ones did just 76, which is over 5 times more. And that's not counting the vast amount of other games that sold less than a million units, there's simply more of them on PS2.
Add to this the fact that PS2 also had a slim version, and in some regions was affected by piracy, so this would drive up the number of consoles sold relative to games.
So no, people bought just as many games on PS2 if not more. The whole meme about it being used for DVD came from an old article written in the very early days when PS2 had few games.
Nintendo lost hard. Everyone played on PS2. Cope.

> Why have this board if you can just get any/all info you want by googling?
I am at a loss of words. Why have google at all? You can just ask people.

You fucking schmo, even HG101 has an article on it. With all the detail. Go read it.

The question is: does Square breed autists, or are the autists naturally attracted to square games?

Modern marketing is something
