Well I've been reading up on the PS4's launch, as well as a thread (who's name escapes me) on the PS4's reviews. On that subject I noticed people discussing good console launches. One thing struck me as odd; the Xbox 360 was argued to have a good launch. But didn't the Xbox 360 has a cripplingly short library (barring Backwards Compatibility)? The RRoD was a major killjoy for anybody purchasing it and if the PS3 and Wii had not had terrible launches the 360 probably wouldn't have been seen in such a positive light.
Then I thought: What is a good console launch?
I've often been lead to believe that the Dreamcast had a good launch. It had a few games which many people enjoyed and sold well, and it wasn't the victim of any widespread hardware issues. Of course it died later on but at the start everything looked rosy. But is that the way to look at it? I'm slightly confused on this matter.
