I never realized that nintendo's goal with the wii was to surpassed the ps2.... i just thought that they wanted to beat both ps3 and X360..... b/c i mean, the competition for the wii are X360 and ps3, not ps2

Nintendo believe the wii will surpass the ps2.

 

 

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said he believes the Wii could outsell PlayStation 2 over the course of its lifetime to become the most popular console ever. 

"Sony's PS2 sales of 100 million units is an extraordinary number that our home game console business has not achieved," Iwata told Reuters. 

"But if we can make our bid to expand the gaming population a continued success, we could exceed that."

 

Hardly a series of statements  the contain the confidence you assign to them. All he says is that growing the market gives Nintendo a shot at PS2. He doesn't say that he believes it will happen or even that its a goal.
