Stop drinking the cool-aid, Cap'n. PS2 was notoriously hard to develop for, and Wii software sells just fine.

Notice how Wii's software marketshare hovers around the Wii's hardware market share? This pattern held for the entire holiday season for all consoles. Install base is the single most important factor in software sales.
So if the Wii moves as many hardware units as the PS2 and remains supported in the market for as long as the PS2 has, it may very well sell more software.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
