As for outselling PS2 games, that's not surprising as software sales for PS2 in Japan remains anorexic. Sony has shipped 3.52 million units of PlayStation2's in Japan.

Great post. I wouldn't be surprised if 8-10% of PS2 owners do not have any games. If it continues then not only is Sony screwed because it derives it's profit primarily from 3rd parties but the software companies especially the smaller ones will suffer.

They also seemed to also look favorably upon titles such as Mickey's Speedway USA, Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness, Hey You, Pikachu!, and Spiderman. I'm kind of surprised about the choice of Spiderman, since I figured it might follow the dismal launch of Superman 64. Well, they did follow suit with a bad outlook on another super hero cartoon to video game, Batman Beyond. Well, I guess that with all the cr*p that has come out of Kids WB, a little more is only natural.
