You know, for once, I would like to see a developer or publisher announce a game for the Wii without "It's also coming for the PS2"

The Wii is very popular right now and the PS2 is still doing very well considering it's age. Why would a developer choose to make it for only one of these sucessful platforms when it is potentially more profitable to have it for both?

Making certain games for both just makes sense. Furthermore, most gamers either have a PS2 or a Wii so you are really reaching a substantial market by making a game for both platforms.


yes, but their is a gap between what the Wii can do and what the PS2 can do. If developers are lumping both consoles together, then that means that all Wii games will continue to have PS2 quality. Yes it's all financially sound for publishers to do this but quality wise, it's not so great.


Because the PS2 had such crappy games?


I think this is a really good point.  Is it such a bad thing for some PS2 games to be on Wii?  Is anyone complaining about enhanced remakes of RE4 or Okami?  How about the sequel to Odin Sphere with identical graphics and art style (although hopefully minus the framerate issues)?  It's okay for some games to be cross platform as long as they are good games.  Don't judge a game as crap automatically before you ever played it just because it's also on the PS2.
