The thing is game reviews don't prove shovelware. Shovelware is based on effort, not whether the critics were pleased.
In that sense, the PS2's design made sovelware difficult until developers caught on to it. So the majority of the shovelware came later, while easier systems made shovelware more feasible sooner.
So the PS2 is not really that fair a comparison.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
