If there were more of the core games, they would be easier to find. I know this because the PS2 had loads of shovelware as well. |
Well every console seems to have a fair share of shovelware. But I think the Wii is the first time we've seen it do extremely well.
Also the PS2 and Wii audience are clearly very different. Looking at the top 50 sellers of both consoles makes that very clear.

70% of US households with a Wii also have/had a PS2. I;d say their top 50s look radically different largely because their software lineups look radically different.
Also, is there actually any 3rd party PS1, PS2, GBA or DS game that alone managed 2%+ of overall 3rd party sales? I think maybe San Andreas on PS2, though I'm not sure (what are total PS2 software sales?) and I can't think of *anything* that'd be close for the others?

I was saying 2% in any given year, not 2% life time....
Based on what I hear Wii is moving more software than the PS2 so I would expect annual software sales for the PS2 to have been around 200 million units or less....
Even if I take the 200 million units number there are quite a few PS2 titles that sold 4 million units or more in a year....

Well, if that's the standard then there ARE Wii 3rd party games that managed 2m+ within a year (Guitar Hero, Mario & Sonic, Sports Active). Plus you'd figure big early sellers (Red Steel, Sonic &TSR, etc) likely managed at least 2% too.
