(These are all upcoming PS2 games)

 

Why not port them to Wii? I know they would only sell 200-300k copies, but it can't possibly cost that much to port them, and they probably wouldn't sell much more on PS2 anyway.

Compare their install base with the fact that the PS2 is still selling like wildfire and you will know. Hell, the console is even getting the next Guitar Hero and Rock Band. There is still a total of 80 games coming out for it this year. It's success sometimesmakes me think twice about this ten year plan that Sony keeps mentioning.

This wasn't a knock at PS2, it's a question of why not on Wii.

If you are not interested in the Wii (to play or discuss) why do you post?

I understand it has a larger install base. You're very observant. I gave a modest projection of sales on Wii, and asked "why not?".

These are other posts about Wii from you:

In reference to Wii edging towards 50%:

  • "Soon, PlayStation will be at 75% again."

In reference to the name Wii:

  • "Hate it."

In reference to GTA on Wii:

  • "That would be so stupid."

In reference to RE5 on Wii:

  • "Nope...I'm hoping the game will be far superior to anything that the Wii hardware can handle."

 

If you're going to add something, feel free to... I am no fan boy. I like my Wii, but as you can tell from my previous posts I am not blindly devoted to it.

If you're going to troll do it in someone else's thread.

Dude I wasn't even trolling on you. I was simply saying why I think they are being made for PS2. I did not try and give a reason why they are not ported to Wii because that is a completely different story. So truthfuly I did not at any point say that a Wii version would be a bad idea or anything like that. In fact, I did not realize how directly you were talking about the Wii untill you said "This wasn't a knock at PS2, it's a question of why not on Wii." I understand that I should be doublechecking these things but I am usually posting from a cellphone so I don't really catch the little "nintendo disscussion" part.

Also, bringing past posts up does not prove anything about me. I'm hoping you realized the sarcasm in the sales comment about PS3 since most gamers have now come to terms with Wii's ground. Comments that I have made about individual subjective threads have no place in a new disscussion. I never thought people would be so repelled by anything that might go against what they believe. I could have just as easily come into this, thrown in some fanbait and watched your thread go up in flames.

So I apoligize if I offended you or Nintendo.
