Looking at the marketshare for the PS2 and Wii, I shudder to think what the PS2 would have done has it released at this time where the gaming industry has grown so much.

A lot of that growth is due to the Wii, so I doubt PS2 would have done much better than it did when it released.

The PS2 never had competition like the Wii does.

 

How so? While MS and SONY saying the Wii isn't competing is an exaggeration, the Wii is not competing with the PS3/360 as much as those two compete with each other. The Wii isn't selling for the same reasons...certainly.The PS2 also had a DVD player...which helped it sell a lot.

I'm saying that the Xbox and Gamecube were not nearly as daunting in terms of competition as the PS3 and 360 are.
