Again there is a difference between selling because of no competition and selling because the "wrong people bought the console". I gave other reasons of why the Wii is the best console...but you chose to only quote the sales portion. And don't speculate what i think. I never said the PS2 sales don't count. I said they are so high because of no competition.

2) The Wii on the other hand was released at the same time as the PS3, 1 Year after the 360. We are talking about a Console that was way behind in technology, and had 2 current Generation Consoles to contend with. And was still able to outsell them. Theres no wonder the Wii cant catch up to the PS2 sales, the PS2 had a massive advantage. But even seeing the Wii knock at the PS2's door is absolutly amazing, thats what makes it.....in my opinion.....the greatest console ever made.

Ok, so the Wii came out later, had old tech, and had competition.  Not exactly the qualities I look for in consoles, but different strokes I suppose.  Would the Wii still be the 'greatest console ever made' if it had all those qualities and sold 10 million?  If not, it seems like sales are the determining factor.

Saying the PS2 had no competition and saying the Wii sold to a new audience are different things, sure.  However they are both done for the same reason, to lessen the accomplishments of the console.  They are just excuses to explain why the consoles sold as they did.  That is why it was so ridiculous for you to jump on someone and call them a hater when you had done essentially the same thing a few posts earlier.

In my opinion yes....I said it is the greatest console ever "IN MY OPINION" If you take that the wrong way....thats your opinion. If you say the PS2 is.....thats fine, that would be "YOUR OPINION".....do you understand that ?
