I just said that, I didn't know how many PS2 had (lol)

but the point is clear PS360 have more AAA combined than the console with motion on it, so how were hardcore gamers "sad/unhappy"

His arrogance blinds him

If the gaming industry was happy with the PS3 and 360, why are they only selling 100K a week?  Why have they only combined for less than 53 million after more than three years?  Don't kid yourself the AAA's mean nothing, if not for the Wii, the industry would be collapsing right before your eyes

In the last gen after three years the PS2 had sold 53 million and the lowest two competitors were both at 10 million, and yet noone talked about how the industry was going to collapse.

If the Wii wasn't around, both the 360 and PS3 would've sold some amount better, and the industry would be doing just fine.  There just wouldn't be a clear smashing victor like there was in the PS2.

After three years, the PS2 was only at around 45 million, not 53 million,my god, do you even know how to look at graph?  Let me explain to you, three years is 156 weeks (52 X 3), at 156 weeks, PS2 had sold only a little over 45 million.  Also the reason no one was talking about the collapse of the industry last gen, was because all of the consoles were essentially the same, systems with more power than their previous generation, this time the market diverged with the HD twins going off in their own direction and being largely snubbed by the market.

 

Also, by saying that they would be doing better without the Wii, you're admitting that the Wii is in direct compeition with the PS3 and 360, and admitting that the public prefers the Wii, indicating that they are not happy with the HD consoles, that they have snubbed the HD market in favor of the disruptive Wii, either way you are admitting that people are not happy with the HD twins and want something different.
