That actually makes sense. I don't know why you didn't expect it. The PS2 did have first party games, but not close to the extent of what was on GC. Keep in mind, this was still when Sony didn't have a consistent mascot and they were just throwing whatever worked. They literally did not get official permanent face until Astro Bot.

I'm gonna ackchually here, but the PS2 had 127 first party games, as opposed to the Gamecube's 45. A lot of those were sports games and stuff like Singstar tho. Anyway, just seemed odd considering the PS2s massive install base and high attach rate, and the sheer number of first part games. Then again, PS2 had huge third party support, could be first party did less because third party offerings were so strong.

The current-gen XBoxes don't seem to be on here at all. Did they actually not have any? I mean, I'd heard the joke of "Microsoft released more first-party studios than first-party games", but....

Yeah, that doesn't feel right. There's been two CODs under Microsoft, and two Forzas, a Halo, Starfield and Indiana Jones. Those most definitely all sold more than 1 mil copies. Unless of course they only counting physical sales, not digital, and Xbox Series has been overwhelmingly digital since pretty much day one.

Yet how many of them stuck around long? Or stuck on the console they debuted on?

And there you go. I forgot to mention that part.

The full list of first-party million sellers per console is pretty interesting. The Nintendo handhelds, and Nintendo in general, dominating the top 10 makes sense, they've always relied on first party. But didn't expect Wii to be so high, and PS2 to be so relatively low. Also, that precipitous drop from PS4 to 5.

Console	Number Of First-Party Million-Sellers
Nintendo Switch	72
Nintendo DS	55
Nintendo 3DS	50
PlayStation	49
Nintendo Game Boy	46
Nintendo Entertainment System	42
Nintendo Wii	40
Nintendo 64	37
PlayStation 2	30
Nintendo GameCube	26
Nintendo Game Boy Advance	25
Xbox 360	23
Super NES	21
PlayStation 3	21
Nintendo Wii U	20
PlayStation 4	19
PlayStation Portable	8
Xbox One	7
PlayStation 5	5
Xbox	5

imo the NES is the most impressive, gaming was super small back then. Surprised its higher than the SNES tbh.

It depends. I don't mind these type of games every now and then. Especially if it's Oneechanbara.

^^ Thought this was something from 2022 but nope, the debate is apparently still open. I’ll summon NPCs but apparently the end boss in Sherdtree is easier without them. Also just realized my scadu level is 2 less than recommended for that according to Fextra so I might go find the ones I missed.

This tired "debate" will never end, but I got sick of it the moment it started. The jackass Soul fans that do this shit are doing nothing new. They're doing the same shit that happened when Devil May Cry 1 and Ninja Gaiden (2004). Where if you didn't play on the hardest difficulties, Master Ninja or Dante Must Die, or did your campaign on the Easy mode, then you're a "pure scrub/pussy/Ninja dog" and not a "true fan/Devil Hunter/Master Ninja". Assholes like them are part of the reason why I didn't bother with NG for a long time.

"the fact that one of the first npc's you can meet in DS1 tells you that its good to engage in "jolly co-operation" and people still say souls co-op is cheating."
