And a crap game that sold loads? Well... Shadow the Hedgehog.

Pikmin 2.
I thought it would do better. People just kind of ignored it.

FFX-2. Crap game sold crap and it was so cheap brand new.
Maybe scaler sold lots but sucked.

Edit: If you count consoles maybe the GC because in my country practically no one wanted to buy them.

That statement makes no sense to me.

RE4 was on GC for a long time and it was still very successful. And there was only a months difference between the two releases (in the us it was released in July for GC and August for PS2).

i don't think GC has anything to do with it. I think it was just bad marketing or a bad game. They did make a sequel so someone had to have liked it.

They did have bad marketing though, the sales increased though when it came out on the PS2 though

qnzskater's comment makes sense to me. Not as many people own a GC as they own PS2, and even so the ones that own a GC will more likely enjoy a different gaming style to the ones that bought the PS2.

Saga frontier
Xenogears
Legend Of Legaia
Jumping Flash( mmmm classics)
Digimon World (the first 1)

all of the above are psx games- some just came out at the wrong time( like the release of Final Fantasy 7)
