You're claiming that PS2 got good games because it could handle similar games with GC and Xbox -> otherwise the games had stayed as GC and Xbox exclusives. In reality, GC and Xbox got ports/multiplatform games from PS2 because they could handle the games, making cheap ports possible. The market decided PS2 was the one leading the market and that's where the publishers have little to say. They are forced to go to the platform that makes them most money and earn some extra with cheap ports (in this gen, porting Wii games to PS360 isn't that cheap as PS2 -> GC/Xbox). |
Indeed.
This gen you are not seeing Wii games get ported to the HD consoles, and if you did people woud be mad as no 360/PS3 owner wants to play the Wii version of COD.
The PS2, Xbox, and GCN were are very similar so even thought the PS2 was market leader it could hang with its peers in the graphics department. The Wii can not. So developers have to make watered down versions of their games for the wii. just look and the ghostbusters game coming out. The Wii version is cell shaded and cartoony while the other versions are realistic. Also the Madden series is switching to stylized graphics for the wii version.
You can't sit there and tell me you, as a wii owner, are happy with, waterdowned ports and no effort games. I don't know about you, but i want good games/quality for my Wii. I mean its sad when there was more effort put into PS2 shovelware than wii shovelware.
These are flash games.
