Hmmm... what the hell are you talking about? I'm explaining why the Wii has an advantage for online gaming over the PS2. Hence, why Monster Hunter is better suited for the Wii compared to the PS2 and why it has performed better on the Wii. I do however disagree with one thing you said. The Wii typically doesn't do a great job selling core games. But that's not relevant with the discussion I'm having now. |
This is a bit of a side tangent at this point, but the fact remains that Wii is not inherently better suited to online games like Monster Hunter than PS2 was when MHG released in 2005. Monster Hunter doesn't require mass storage (and doesn't even use SD card saving on Wii, hell you can even transfer character data to the measly 6KB in the Wiimote with room to spare) and by the time MHG released, every new PS2 sold came with a BBA. Online capability literally has NOTHING to do with why MHG Wii outsold the PS2 original.
As to your second point, the franchise we're already talking about (Monster Hunter) pretty much shatters your "opinion" there. AAA core games, if handled well, can do phenomenally on Wii. And to be blunt, MH is about as "hardcore" as they come on consoles...
