Forums - Nintendo - For the Wii's sake, the PS2 must be discontinued this year

Come on guys, you know you weren't going to be in graphical marvel when you bought a Wii... whatever happened to game play over graphics? Don't start eating your own words ok.

To sum up:

ps2 is giving wii as much as its taking from it


On a side note i find thats what generaly happens with "casual" games, developpers have no incentive to make it high on graphics since most casuals dont look so much for stunning graphics.



well the developers want to make as much money as possible so it's not surprising at all



I don't think that this would change much the situation for the Wii. The Wii can't keep up with PS3 or 360 and third parties don't perform very well generally on it, they have to do multi games. When the PS2 will be discontinued, they will continue multi with PSP, wich will be even worth imo.

I think it helps more then it hurts.

PS2/Wii combinations allow a much larger userbase... more then when you combine a PS360.

When you count PS360 combined userbases it outnumbers the wii.

Yeah, me too. I think the Wii and PS2 are partners. Once the Wii is ready, it can take the PS2 training wheels off and fly on its own, but right now, it needs the 3rd party dev support provided by being so close to the PS2 graphically.

 

Sure, the training wheels are 24 inch chrome spinners. Losing them will hurt, lol.

 

The other company fanboys do get quite snooty when PS2 ports are mentioned. Basically, they say, "Haha, your partner console is the PS2, a LAST GEN system."

 

Yes, those systems have a similar relationship. PS3/360 and Wii/PS2.

 

If you wanna get snooty right back, just tell em that my partner is the PS2, and your partner is the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360. Then laugh a little inside, as you realze who has the better partner.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

i cant help it but laugh when i imagine u people standing with a guitar in front of ur tv



Sony has to keep it out. Otherwise they won't stand a chance against the Wii.

Another way to look at it, is all of the PS2 ports the Wii is getting wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the PS2.

There might be no:

Rockband Wii
Baroque
Guitar Hero 3
Alone in the Dark
Ghostbusters Wii
Starwars: The Force Unleashed Wii

or many other games if it wasn't for the PS2 sticking around for a little while longer than we all expected.

It's not certain that these games would even be ported to a lower graphical standard if there wasn't more than one system for them to be ported to.

Don't listen to the anti-Wii talking points. The PS2 brings more games to the Wii, that it takes exclusivity away from the Wii. I say, let it go on forever, cause that just means more quality Wii ports.

So goes for versions of thes games without online or good visuals...

PS2 should continue, its best for the competition with WII anyway, plus for gamers, especially for RPG fans, since there's not a single JRPG on the PS3 available. And let developers come up with some more interesting PS2 alike games instead of all the party junk they've been showing lately on the WII. Developers see the WII nothing but a cheap cash in console and sorry to say it, but then I really hate the WII for its low graphics rate, as you can really see it.

I'm still buying a lot of PS2 games and my game collection will therefore keep on growing. I'm buying more PS2 games than WII games.

When there is a Wii game that looks as good ad God of War 2, call me.

As the PS2 gets older, developers learn better how to develop for it. If there was no Wii, the PS2 games would look a lot better. I am not saying the PS2 can make a better looking game then the Wii (although I do think the best looking game across both consoles in a PS2 game), but I am saying a PS2 only game would look better then a game that is multi-plat.

There are 117 million PS2 owners, and 23 Million Wii owners. If your going to drop development for one, it should be the Wii :p

There, now that I have balanced it, let's just let developers make games for both and be happy :)
