I would bet PS2 at least gets very close to that, if not surpasses it.

And again, WHO THE HELL CARES? Just ignore the shovelware and play the freakin goods ones! I never ever got the logic of dissing a console because of its bad games, WHEN IT HAS PLENTY OF GOOD ONES.

The endless creative ways you "hardcore" come up with to undermine the Wii never ceases to boggle the mind..

Looks like you answered your own question.

I'm amazed at how forgetful "hardcore" gamers are at the PS2's library of shovelware. Then there's the blind spot when it comes to the plethora of kid's games that appear on all consoles. And, of course, motion controls. Sony and MS never used those.


PS2 had over 60 AAA games in its library and god knows how many 85+ games. Wii...I dont think it ever got more than 15 AAA games, but it sure as hell got 20 times more shovelware compared to PS2.

 

Comparing PS2 library with the Wii's should be considered a sin.

Thanks for basically proving Metallicube's point. Once the PS2 is brought up, it's time to compare the number of shovelware titles on each system, then discount the PS2's shovelware just because?

Shovelware is shovelware, once you have enough of it in your platform's game library, it's there. The entire point Metallicube was making is that the shovelware doesn't make the good games worse. They're still there as well, and that's all that matters. Shovelware is just a byproduct of the most popular system of the generation.

If you look at exclusives, the Wii has a great library. And since when are AAA the yardstick for quality games?

No, because PS2 library was about 50% shovelware 50% quality whereas Wii library was 90% shovelware and 10% quality
