i dont think that a motion sensing controller for the ps2 is even near to be a good reason for someone to prefer a lastgen console over a nextgen console...

Outside of a gimmick controle, what makes the Wii more next-gen than the PS2?


Standard WiFi? 512 MB of internal storage compared to 8 MB memory cards? SD card support up to 2 GB? Compelling exclusive games?


I'm talking it from a gameplay perspective. The Wii's gimmick is it's unique controller. If the PS2 had that as well, I don't really see what the would have offer that would make it head-in-shoulders above the PS2.


 Wii Sports, Wii Fit, being able to create Miis, and the Nintendo brand name.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Hi, your ego called, it wanted you to know it decided to run off and hopped a bus to crazytown...he also wanted me to tell you that as far as he is conerned your opinions = facts.

/sarcasm

 

1) Just because you think the controller is a gimmick doesn't mean it is.

2) If the PS2 released a motion controller (which a third party has already done btw) it would need a lot of software support or it would likely fail quickly. If it were able to get a decent install base (at least 1m) we might see some devs attempt to port Wii games back but by the time all of this would come to pass the PS2 is probably another 12-18 months down the road of no return...in short its a dying system, albeit a slowly dying system and the result is that devs will shy away from investments in it because its future isn't nearly as bright as the Wii's or even the other consoles for that matter.

lol, look at these ps3 fanboys.

Anyway I dont have a wii but I like the controls and I think it adds to the gameplay. Metroid Prime, Resident evil and mario felt great using the wii controls.

Also the wii is like around 3 times more powerful than the ps2 based on the current stats available so yea its more "next-gen" than the ps2.

are you saying Wii has better exclusives than PS2?

He asked what was next-gen about the Wii.  What's next-gen about PS2 exclusives?

@ameratsu: No argument there, at least not so far.
