Sony introduced Playstation in late 1995.
From September 1995 - December 31, 1997, 8.7 million units were sold, 47.3 million software and 19.8 peripheral units.
1996 - Nintendo 64 launches in Japan on June 23. Thousands
line up to be the first to experience the world's first true 64-bit home video game system. More than 500,000 systems are sold the first day. In early September, Nintendo introduces the Game Boy pocket, a sleeker, 30-percent smaller version of the world's most popular hand-held video game system. On
September 29, Nintendo 64 launches in North America. The
entire initial shipment of more than 350,000 units is sold out in three days.
Now we have Playstation II this fall and a ton of software release on Oct. 26, 2000.
Here's an opinion on Playstation II at E3. There is a positive mention on WWF Royal Rumble at the end. This person thought SEGA was impressive.

"THQ, JAKKS and Sega Enterprises, Ltd. have teamed up with renowned wrestling game developer Yuke's Co. Ltd to create

Forget X-Box, that's a joke right now.
Dolphin is not a factor either.
It's all Playstation II and the huge base of older platforms.
P.S. I don't care about the stock price right now. I bought will all cash and I'm planning to buy more lower so I won't mind if the price moves down. |
