I am pretty confident that most WII games are not good. Only games like mario, zelda and the other firts party games actually deserve such sales. PS2 games were of quality and that is something the WII can't replicate at the moment.

Realistically, 95% of PS2 games were trash but people were oblivious to their existence. The primary difference between the Wii and PS2 is that third party publishers pawn off the same kind of niche experiences that were failures on the PS2 (Okami, Killer7, God Hand) as AAA experiences; even though they lack the IP, Marketing, Production Values, or other characteristics that made successful AAA experiences on other platforms.

The saying "You only get one chance to make a first impression" is certainly true with game series, and countless virtually-unplayable ports in major series were released on the Wii in its first couple of years; and anyone who made the mistake of buying one of these games is not going to risk repeating it by buying the sequel regardless of how much publishers promise that they have fixed the problems.

 

Absolutely and I think this game http://www.ps2now.com/cheats/h/horsez/  is a perfect example. Of a rehashed PS2 game hoping to passed off as AAA. I guess anmo11 is right the quality of that Horsez game just can't be beat. Thanks PS2 and Ubisoft for such a great game. I think someone remember their console through rose coloured glasses and selective software.
