The reason why PS2 was loved by game companies

I can't believe how many current PS3 users were Gamecube only users last gen. I am the exact opposite: PS2 only user last gen and Wii/360 this generation. PS2 was a great console for RPG but there's so much crap, I can barely believe it (well, there's a lot of crap on Wii as well).

 

it does make some sense, if they felt they were getting burned by having the gamecube, and saw what the ps2 offered and knew what the ps1 had offered, prior to actually one year in, you would have guessed like many 3rd parties that it would be the same.

However because of the way things ended up, they have a console that although supported far better than the game cube was, will not get ps2 level support. even if the wii owns as much market share as the ps2 (dont see it happening, as the 360, and ps3 sales are better than the 2&3 last time) the wii will never have the clout with devs that kept games from coming to the xbox, and gc last gen
