if any company has a chance at getting near to wii its the ps3. There are a lot of famous games on the ps2 which are still waiting to be made onto the ps3 which will attract many fans of those games to purchase a ps3. For now they are milking the ps2 but sooner or later a backwards compatibility ps3 will come and those japanese ps2 users will come swarming in to buy 1. japan has yet to be awakened. It seems like they got struck by a virus or something.
