but microsoft took over everything they wanted and they will take over the videogame market as well. it's like common sense.

nope, they're really slacking in the video games section....first they come out with a console as big as a 1984 VCR, their internal developement crew suck, and they don't snag up too many of the hit games (props for getting KOTOR, Halo, and Morrowind) those are the only REAL stand out games on the xbox. quality games, third party support along with console specific games is why the ps2 is leading the market

Don Seer:
i know a lot of people who have had ps2s, sold them and got xbox's.

you have to remember.. sony are in their second gen.. this is micrsofts first shot.

i'm sure microsoft will want to combat all the criticisms next time around.

I question whether or not GTA is the most successful series of all time, I don't believe that.  Why?  ... because this list doesn't take into account all the classic consoles, like the Genesis, the Playstation 1, the Super Nintendo, the Nintendo, The Gameboy, etc.  While the PS2 does own the market, the GTA series is not the most successful of ALL time, just the most successful in the new generation.  There's been about a dozen Mario games.  Do you honestly think GTA has outsold Mario?  Hell no.

i know what you mean, i tried to look up the stats for final fantasy because i know they sell millions each time but i couldn't find anything

plus i thought i remember reding that goldeneye for 64 was the most purchased game for any system but that could have been just in the united states

Yeah, but this is about the U.S. market, I bet the Japanese market and European market look pretty different.

Besides, games is a 100x times bigger industry today, than it was only a few years ago.
When PS3 launch, I bet it's gonna crush PS2 sales.. more marketing, new audiences, bigger and more games & better marketed games..
