The Wii has 12 games over 1 million in your list and 6 more over 500k. Of those only 4 are non Nintendo published games

 

The PS2 has 18 games over 1 million and 52 more over 500k.... All 70 of those were non Nintendo published games..

So don't tell us they are in any way comparable... 70 vs 4 isn't the same as saying 'The Wii has everything the PS2 did + completly new types of games that have become huge hits.'

 

The Wii does not have the huge majority of the successfull titles that were on the PS2 ( 4 vs 70 can't really be argued..)

 

Nice post.

To add to this, Kasz, you're assuming that those 9 million Wii gamers were former ps2 owners that are buying these Nintendo franchises instead of old ps2 franchises, when it's very possible that millions of those 9 million are blue ocean gamers that Nintendo has brought to gaming through the Wii, much like they have managed to do so in the West, and these people are much more inclined to buy something like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, or the ever loveable Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart over Final Fantasy or Tales, whether due to the style of gameplay or simply because they're not familiar with the latter franchises.

I'm not assuming it.  It's through Nintendo's own numbers they had released a while ago.  A big majority of those Wii owners did own PS2s.

Well that would surprise me, given the nature of Nintendo's business strategy, but I'll take your word for it.
