Don't underestimate the power of a console's swan song. Those last few big projects that come out on a console normally end up being some of the very best games on them. Look at stuff like Shadow of the Colossus, God of War II, Persona 4, and Twilight Princess on GCN. Those games came at the tail end of the systems' lifespan but trumped all the early releases of the next gen (with TP as an exception) because devs knew the ins and outs already. I always look forward to the last two years of a successful system because that's when it normally really pays off.


The last couple of years of a console's life often produce some of best games of the generation.  Even when the console is considered 'dead'.

I would also like to add to your list: Vagrant Story, Paper Mario, Chrono Trigger, Shenmue II, Perfect Dark and Yoshi's Island

DQ X and Zelda SS could be the inequivalent for the Wii

Nice list T-Tar, I never got to play Vagrant Story which has been one of my big regrets in terms from the PS1 days. That game and Xenogears are the two games I have been meaning to get forever now and if my PS2 still worked I'd probably buy them right now :(
