| TheSource said: The PS2 had tons of shovelware, don't kid yourself. What was different was the third party blockbusters were at the top rather than Nintendo's stuff. EA had dozens and dozens of million selling games on PS2, 50 or so the last time I checked. If you were to imagine the structure of the PS2 and Wii software markets as buildings, the Wii would be a pyramid with a small amount of software selling much better than PS2 games, while PS2 would have a broader, but sharper cut off at the top, more of a narrowing square shape. The Wii does have alot of room for games to sell 500,000-1,000,000 copies though, and that is why you see alot of big, but not huge stuff developed for it.

Yes the PS2 did have a boatload of shovelware, but it didnt constantly make it in the top 20-30 in sales charts. Some of the Wii's top selling games of all time are simply shovelware titles (WiiPlay, Carnival Games for instance).
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
