It's worth noting that that list includes separately-counted budget rereleases. This has a pretty big downward effect on the average for PS2 games.
Example: Final Fantasy X at over two million is a big upward pull. But then there's FF X Mega Hits. And International. And Ultimate Hits. And the Ultimate Hits where it's packed together with X-2. And International Ultimate Hits.
Significant point, JJ. On top of that, I would caution our readers from reading too heavily into the "avg per title" chart simply because it rewards the system with the fewest games.
It would be interesting to see what the averages would look like if the budget releases were combined into one record.
I'm counting 15 budget and international releases in the PS2 list. Is that what you're getting?
That would change the avg from 334,153 to 416,321, ranking it above everything above the DS (without checking for similar releases on other systems).
