More people owned PS2, therefore there's more people that get nostalgic about it. It's hard to get nostalgic about a machine you never owned (Xbox). --- End quote --- what about people that never owned an ps2 and look back at those 6th gen consoles, or what about people that actually did own an OG xbox yet like ps2 way more because it has more and better stuff for the genre's that they like. if these people have a look at both libraries ps2 is going to win over xbox in a ton of times. Or What about nintendo fans looking at both the ps2 and xbox console. Ps2 has tons of stuff that nintendo fans like and more, can one say the same thing for xbox I digress not at the same lvl. ps2 has way more potential to lure in newcomers, xbox has way less of that. |

Yeah, of course that's true for some people. But most people aren't collectors like us. Most people owned only 1 console per generation. We're niche. So for most people, they had the PS2, and not an Xbox. |

Yet gamecube still has an interesting library that lures in not only it's original owners from back in the day, but also sony and probably xbox fans for having heavy hitting quality titles that no other console has and have great replay value today. |

Which goes back to what I said. Makes no sense Xbox games aren't going up too since those are the best versions of games that generation. I never disagreed that PS2 or GameCube is more popular. |

Fatal frame series has doubled on xbox during covid. And marvel vs capcom 2 xbox wich is pretty strange considering xbox 360 and ps3 store having those at a pretty low price plus with online play aka the reason why they dropped in value in the first place. that has to be nostalgia and collectors for that one considering that the online download is in the xbox 360 ps3 store for pretty cheap. you'd imagine that hardcore fans of the series already have it by than. Or ofcourse the few exclusives that are actually worth it, that people actually might replay it in this day and age. otogi, stubbs zombie conker live & reloaded to name some examples. if your expecting other titles in the xbox library to rise in price, perhaps it's player base is either more pc based, less replay value today, or the genre being outclassed by current gen shooters and last but not least the games being to common. |
