godamn, i missed out another dangal!
anyway, there were some interesting points raised in the first 3 pages of this thread;
- i think the country as a whole was going through better economic times back when the ps2 was at it's height. or am i wrong?
which just means more people could buy consoles for their kids. which meant that there were ps2 game cd's being sold at my local general store!
i mean, sure, the ps2 might have been for 12k and the 360 is for 20k minimum, but the dollar was at rs. 60 then and it's at rs. 82 now. plus you gotta factor in inflation.
plus, does everyone in pakistan have high-def televisions? it makes a huge difference in what a game looks like. sure, the x360 still looks better even on sd, but not as good as it can on hd. that also makes people think there isn't a huge difference between the two.
one thing is for sure though, the ps3 has failed in pakistan. there's a couple of reasons for that as well:
- piracy.
- the price of the console: sure it's got a lotta bells and whistles. but no one in pakistan wants to buy a blu-ray disc. and i don't see them being copied on a large scale anytime soon.
