@joecool7  im sorry man, but the Wii is NOT this gen's PS2. The Wii is lacking in too much genres for it to be like that. Its interesting that you bring up Xbox and Gamecube. I also had a Gamecube, but lets not kid ourselves here most of the best games on that system were multiplat. (outside of the Ninty games of course) RE4 one of the best non-ninty games on GC. multiplat. Did PS2 get shovelware??? Sure they did, but they also had 3rd parties who actually gave a damn the system. THe PS2 got the most important games last gen, contrast that to Wii and they get the shovelware but 3rd parties give the HDs there best effort and the Wii (like so many people like to point out) get the scraps. Cant see how Wii could be like PS2 or PS1 or hell even SNES. IMHO this is the only gen ive seen where the leading console does not get quality games put on it. And just for laughs, (DMC, MGS, SFs, Tekkens, KOFs, GTAs,) those are just some of the many 3rd party series that appeared on PS2 but has not migrated to Wii

You refer in a past post to many titles on PS3 like BioShock which are found on 360 as well. Also the X-Box got the GTA's and GameCube got MGS:TwinSnakes. GameCube got almost every major multiplatform game and X-Box got even more. The PS2 did have alittle exclusive support and sure some developers gave a damn. But the GameCube and X-Box also had support from developers who gave a damn. Not to mention you talk of being in a store and looking at the games and found PS3 had more hardcore games on the shelf then Wii. I was simply pointing out that last generation multiplatform or not the X-Box and less so the GameCube had more hardcore games on the shelf per capita then the PS2.

I have to say the console that is closest in comparison to the Wii is the PS2. Sure it may not have as many third party exclusives or temporary exclusives as PS2 did but it is the closest. As PS2 had an awful lot of shovel ware and junk on it. I don't think their is another console that had as much junk as PS2 did to compare Wii with. Plus Wii has the best first party support of any console to date with quite a few exclusives.
