| dgm6780 said: The PS2 has been running ahead of both the XBox and PS3 for a long time now. And a major innovation has been announced for the PS2 that comes out this Christmas. I think that would mean they are still a legitimate console thats still kicking and alive. If the Wii is counted as next gen because of its controls and not its graphics how is the PS2 not "next gen" if it has similiar graphics and offers the same type control scheme?? Software totals for THIS week had PS2 at 2x the sales of the Wii. and JohnSobas - "Why don't you compare current gen total sales to last gen sales and then tell us which gen it is." uhh thats my point the PS2 is still outselling the XBox360 and PS3 so how are you proclaiming that last gen is over?? The PS2 is not like XBox1, its still alive and selling well. Both hardware and software. and soriku - this isnt called trolling, its called making an on topic post. just because it points out the fallacy of this "Wii is #1 " crap doesnt mean I have done anything wrong. take your fear of the truth and hollow threats elsewhere |
*sigh*
The "major" hardware innovation you speak is from 3rd party peripheral maker in2games. It's not from Sony and isn't a default control scheme. It also requires an individually tailored controlller for each individual game at $60.00 each. Hardly a similar system I'd say.
The Wii is part of the 7th generation of home consoles just as the PS3 and X360 are. A consoles generation is determined by launch release and a successor/predecessor system. It has absolutely nothing to do with processing power, control methods or anything else fanboys love to use as a basis for debating which console generation Wii belongs too.
Your point doesn't do anything of the sort. The Wii is the leader of the 7th generation of consoles and even outsells last generations winnner, PS2, on a weekly basis. Software sales for PS2 were up last week because of Madden. You can't look at a tiny slit in the timeline and make broad stroke statements from it like that. You may as well be using Amazon charts for your facts.
Perhaps you aren't trolling but your ignorance to the facts doesn't make it any better.
