When will PS3 lose its momentum?!

[Erik Aston]

Thanks for the numbers covering Nintendo's historical position. Too bad numbers from 10 or 15 years ago fail to address: what have they done lately in the console space (sorry, but DS and GBA titles really don't count)? Wii Play/Sports and Zelda pretty much sum up the past few years. The only numbers I posted were post-PS2 launch. 2001 forward, really. In that time, Nintendo games have hit the 4 million mark 17 times to Sony's 2. So all other things being equal, Nintendo's first party would win hands down. Of course, all other things weren't equal with PS2 vs. GC anymore than they are with PS3 vs. Wii. Now, as for the idea that all of Wii's current support was picked up during the GC era... Well... There's been almost 1/3rd as many games announced for Wii as came out during GC's entire lifetime... That's about 225 for Wii, about 700 for GC. PS2 had 2500, and currently PS3 has about the same amount as Wii announced, though they fall behind when adding in downloadable content of course. And with twice the price, they might need twice the games... Note: those numbers for known games are based off of Gamespot and Wikipedia lists.
