The ps2 didn't have these issues now did it.

PS2 didn't face a hostile industry that more or less did everything in it's power to try and push it's competition ahead of it.  Indeed, PS2 found itself in the opposite position.

Wii's record breaking success literally rests entirely on Nintendo's shoulders.  That's something no PlayStation or Xbox can really say, and likely never could in the future either...

TBH whoever came out with the motion controller first would likely have seen those sales. They're not down to Nintendo it's down to the motion control, past generations put proof to that.

Hardware sells with software.  Without Nintendo software, Wii would not have been the phenom it was.  Same story as with NES/Famicom, Game Boy, DS and every other revolutionary Nintendo platform.

We'll never know what would have happened if Sony or Microsoft released the motion controller first with THEIR franchises. Nintendo name wasn't very strong in the industry prior to Wii.
