Summing up. We get less games, they sell less, they cost more, they take a lot more time to be released and their quality is lower than in the PS2 era. If you think the 3 games you mentioned are worth that loss, then I have nothing else to say.

Wanna know what's wrong with what you're saying? You're comparing 9 years of the sixth generation to 2 years of this generation.
And I'd like to know how exactly the quality is lower. Maybe you're just bitter about having nothing to play since Mario Kart in April.

 

Ok OkeyDokey. I will answer you just because I know that you don`t play dumb (when you say something stupid it comes from the bottom of your heart).

1) There isn`t any 9 year period. It would be 8 even if you considered only the PS2. The GC and Xbox came late in 2002 and they were pretty much dead by 2007. There weren`t a lot of relevant PS2 titles in 2007 or 2008 (Persona 3 and 4, Yakuza 2 NTSC and PAL, Guitar Hero 3, Madden, Pro Evo and crappy multi plats).

2) Let`s try looking at the first 3 years for the last generation concoles. PS2 -2001-2003, GC 2002-2004, Xbox 2002-2004.

Compare that to Xbox 360 current library and PS3 library + all announced titles for 2009.

The (fake) HD consoles suck. It is that simple. I would exchange the entire HD library for those 3 years of Capcom games. BTW, I have a dark secret: I hate Mario Kart. If you want to expend 400-500 bucks on something you will regret later, get a pretty hooker with syphilis (as a bonus you get a lot of cool scars to show your friends).

Okay 8 years, whatever.

I'm not going to go through all those devs and name everything they've made for HD consoles this gen, but here's Ubisoft:

Rainbow Six Vegas 1/2, GRAW 1/2, Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia, Far Cry 2, EndWar, HAWX, Splinter Cell: DA/Conviction, I Am Alive, Beyond Good & Evil 2.
That's 13 titles compared to 12 last gen, and that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there's even more. There is no drop in either quantity or quality, so I don't even know why you used them as an example.

Now tell me, what makes the HD consoles suck and Wii rule? Because it can't be games, graphics, online, value or any other features I can think of.
