Dude, it really is the best. The rumble support, the quality of the guitar itself, and the feel of the buttons are just much better with the Wii guitar. Not to mention, it had WAAAY less technical issues than the 360 or PS3 guitars. There really is no debate on this. This is coming from somone who has both versions (360 and Wii). I wish I could use the Wii guitar on the 360, it's THAT good.


I agree with you, that the Wii version of hardware is the best, because the clanks come from the guitar itself.

 

However, the Wii version has no DLC.

 

So, honestly, there can be a debate. Your opinion isn't ever absolute.


 I was talking about the Guitar itself, not DLC...

PS2 is a lot more profitable for Sony than its struggling PS3 which is still making a loss on its hardware. Not a good idea to abandon their most profitable console.

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 :)

Where were you a year and a  half ago. There are better looking gamecube games if you look at it in a technical aspect. Twilight princess, Re4,MP3,SMG, etc all look imo, and are factual graphically superior to GoW2.

It’s a completely different art style, so it’s very subjective on what looks better.

Well, other then RE, and I think RE does not look as good as GoW2.

yes, Sony will discontinue their most profitable console for Nintendo's sake.

It all makes sense now. :)

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

Manhunt 2

Okami

Obscure 2

Bully

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.


 Treu . The PS2 actually helpd build up a solid secondary , filler library for the Wii . Do we see more crap actually comming ? Yes , but in the same time the Wii at least has some variation in games . Also , dont blame the PS2 for this , the ones that are trully responsible are developers , untill they dont start bringing trully original , Wii specifica games , that will become successfull  , than we will see this bad ports for years to come ...

Guitar Hero 3 Wii is not a PS2 port. To many people (me included) it is the best version of GH3. Of all those games, only Rockband seems like a PS2 port and there is added content.

Of course, you might have been joking :)


Woah, woah, woah. Mono sound in a new Music/Rhythm game while every version has proper sound.

And the guitar thing is your opinon and you don't even mention the 360. Is the Wii version the best because you stick the Wiimote in the guitar. That makes it the best?

Wii version may have the Best Guitar due to its unique rumble feature and the internal speaker, but it has shitty Mono Sound, Broken Online system with Friend Codes plus No DLC, plus the guitar most likely won't work with Rockband Wii.

 

 


 The Wii version has no sound issues (it currently has better overall sounds quality than PS3 or 360), it has online without friend codes, it may get DLC, and do any of the GH3 Guitars work with Rockand?  I thought it was the GH2 360 guitar that worked with Rock Band?  I've never heard the any of the PS3 or PS2 GH3 guitars work with Rock Band.
