Comparing the games that have been on the Wii to the games that were on the PS2 by the end of its first year alone shows that the Wii just can't compare.

PS2 games worth having by the end of 2001: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto III, Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy, ICO, SoulReaver 2, Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.

The Wii's best games almost 2 years into its lifespan and following a disastrous E3: Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Kart (if you didn't buy the Gamecube Version), and a really bad version of Animal Crossing on the way.

Now some might say the Wii has awesome games but reviews at sites like IGN just don't bear that out. Most of these things like Wii Fit and Wii Sports (And Mario Kart Wii) have only received review scores in the 8 to 9 range.

You do realize that most of those games were released (well) over 12 months after its initial release in Japan, and every developer in the world expected the PS2 to be the dominant console. If you have developers start developing games a year before a console launches, and have these games released a year after the console launches then these games will obviously be better than the games that began development months after a system launched and released within the first year worldwide.
