I'd imagine that's because the PS3 had better market share over there. While both systems sold about 86 million consoles overall, the PS3 did best in Europe with 34 million consoles sold compared to the 360's 25, and in North America, the 360 dominated, with 49 million consoles sold to the PS3's 27.

I guess the higher prices are decided by convenience, and the console that sold more has more people wanting them games creating a higher demand. Pretty interesting that the xbox 360 dominated in The US I didn't know that. I do know that both consoles did pretty well in terms of sales and were pretty popular not necessarily profits though as far as especially the first models of ps3 go.

I still don't think exclusives will solely decide what's more collectible for that generation.

GameCube has more exclusives, but PS2 is the more collected system.

It's all about that nostalgia when the kids of that generation hit a certain age.

Nostalgia does play a huge role in collecting, but I still think it comes down to what was popular and most played at that time.

My PS2 collection definitely dominates over my GameCube and Xbox. Kinda the reason I believe the exclusives for each system to be the most collectible. Unless you’re going for complete sets, the multi platform games seam less important.

First of all ps2 is the console that has more exclusives but the gamecube ones in general are heavy hitters.

i don't know why one would think ps2 is the more collected system over gamecube

yes it has more exclusives, it's cheaper and it sold way better back in the day.

While gamecube has a way smaller library there are way more serious collectors for gamecube and plenty that don't even collect for ps2 instead of the other way around

Gamecube has many full set collectors ps2 barely any, even common trash gamecube games have some value and a chance to sell while ps2 and xbox ones are trash.
The Gamecube exclusives are overhyped resulting in them being pricy while the ones on ps2 in general it doesn't even come close unless it is actually very uncommon and an excellent game at the very least.
From what i have seen ps2 is quite a niche as far as collectors go and usually only for specific kinds of games it's a way smaller group than people who collect gamecube even though the library is allot smaller.

I have no clue why one would think that more people seriously collect for ps2 when you take into consideration that gamecube prices are pretty high overhyped and there are actually quite some people out there who want a full set for gamecube ::)

I don't see ps2 being overhyped more like the under dog in terms of collecting. Gamecube on the otherhand that's another story, your statement seems pretty illogical that the ps2 is the more serious collected console.
