Despite all the good publicity Wii is getting its sales are concistent with Ps2, that was riddle with hardware problems(optical reader failure) and lack of blockbuster titles in its infancy.

Do you think this is going to prolong ps2 lifecycle and slow adoption of next-gen consoles? Will or Should Sony relauch the ps2 in 2008 to battle the Wii?

Hardware problems? Hardly. A few here and there would allegedly overheat if WiiConnect24 was on.

Its like the PS2 without the amazingly huge number and variety to the 3rd party content, so really, its only like the PS2 in hardware sales.

I always thought a " NEW " PS2 would be a higher tech system and a larger library of games?

Oh well - it does come with a $250.00 price tag and a nifty power glove. :P

actually i think the DS is the PS2. an impressive install base (heck even if the Ds stopped selling it will still get alot of games as it already has 40M+ install base) and alot of variety.

Sure it is, you know, except for the part where PS2 was technologically capable in it's time, had a huge great library of hardcore titles, and didn't suck donkey *****?

But other than that, the similarities are astounding! :lol:

Yeah people seem to forget that the PS2 launched with some graphically impressive titles. It was instant "wow this is definetly better looking then the playstation." Does any Wii game do that? No. Not a single one.

As a disappointed Wii owner so far on the software front, I would not hold my breath, especially given the track record of almost every 3rd party game on the Wii ATM.

I am not saying its impossible, but I sure won't believe anything about a 3rd party Wii game until I see the proof.

I can trust the 1st party games, since Nintendo does well by their systems, but I have been massively underwhelmed by the 3rd party games on the Wii thus far.

the PS3 and DS had more games than the wii at TGS :|

TGS - Which platform has the most games on display?

The first number is the software available at this year's TGS. The second number shows last year's amount.

NDS: 17.1% (10.4%)
Wii: 8.1% (1.0%)

PS2: 7.2% (20.1%)
360:4,9 % (4.0%)
PS3: 3.2% (3.6%)
PSP: 2.6% (6.6%)
PC: 0.2% (0.4%)
GBA: 0.0% (0.4%)

No, just saying it is a good reason why the PS2 is the better console. How you didn't get that from my first post and actually had to ask is beyond me.
