This thread seems to into the wrong direction. my question is: could sony (if they would not have released the ps3) beat their competitors by staying with the ps2?

I say yes, because third parties would stick with ps2 and wii/x360 would probably have sold as many units as they have now but then the sales would slow down because many consumers and third parties would not shift away from ps2.

NO!

 360 game versions out sold PS2 versions.... yet there are 11 times as many PS2...

  GRAPHICS matter.... every guy wants the cheerleader not the fat ugly old cow.

 

At no point in videogame history the console with the better graphis won. It´s always the console with the best games and graphics don´t matter THAT much just look at PSP and DS. I get the feeling this "Wii will lose in the long term because of it´s weak graphics" is sometimes the last hope for Sony fans to prove their console will win - causo nobody can say what will happen so you can feel save.

 

Look at Super Mario Galaxy - honestly if it was in HD you could think it was a 360 game. The Wii is double as powerfull as the GC was and games like Umbrella Cronicles and Nintendos first party games prove that graphics on the system look pretty good. Just look at any Metroid Trailer the graphics ARE good and well what I saw in Twilight princess as an overworld was pretty huge in size even compared to Oblivion it still stood tall and impressed me. And this was a GC game...
