Sales - Wii vs PS2 sales - View Post

The problem is Nintendo's product quality. Since Wiis almost never broke, no need to purchase a replacement.

As I heard, that was rather different with the PS2, hence the extended lifecycle. Limited BC from PS3 made that effect probably even more pronounced.

If we were talking about Gamecube or N64, that's ok. I don't know what will happen with my wii u in some years but at least for know it gives confidence of a long/permanent life, something that can't be said about Wii at all.

PS2 numbers seems about right given the huge amount of software that sold in its lifetime, almost 3 more games per console than wii.
