The console had potential, we soon saw how ''big'' that potential was, but still, it had some.

The games did sold pretty much every ps2 sold to date. I don't think that alot of people just bought the ps2 because it was the ps2...

As for the ''exclusive'' games, they will stay on a console for quite a while. But companies are not dumb. Sure there are alot of contracs being signed, and those won't be broken just like that. But when they see that a game is popular, they will try to make more money with it. Just look at rockstar.
Sure contracts will be broken, or worked around. I bring up Capcom once again.

And I was talking about first party, in house games. An example is how Mario is a first party series from Nintendo, and Halo is a first party series from Microsoft (bungie, i suppose... fully owned by microsoft). People didn't buy a PS2 just because of Sony's games, they bought it because of the third parties that... and get this... were trained on Nintendo's theory of game design. :-O
