That would be great! =D

That graph really isn't fair.

Ps2 was in Japan only for a while, while they added up more stock.

A more fair comparison, would be Ps2 in the same time of the year and out as Wii.

Wii sales - week ending 25th November 06 to end of Q2 07: 8.89M

Ps2 sales - week ending 28 October 00 to end of Q2 01: 7.73M

So considering Ps2 has 1 month more above, you can say Wii is selling 20% faster for the first 8 months.

Over the next year, Ps2 sold 18.2M

Wii sold 20.5M

So the Wii is steadily selling ~ 10% more than Ps2 was in the same time frame (not ~ 30% as the graph in the OP suggests).

 ^much better than wii library

If by much better you mean much more limited, I agree!

Dude, ever heard off:

Motorstorm? resistance? lair? Heavenly sword? Uncharted? Yakuza Kenzan? Afrika? and the countless PSN titles?

You have to play the games to know if they are WOW. Heavenly Sword was given crap reviews as the game plays like a dream with graphics that kick major ass. Afrika from is meant to be some new kind off way of enjoying games (mate off mine in Japan has purchased it and apparently it is breath taking), Yakuza Kenzan again is awesome!

OT: Wii is capable of outselling the PS2 is it is marketed to gamers who support Ninty games as well as non gamers. They have tapped into a brand new audience of customers. However, with the 360 price cuts and possibly a PS3 price drop to follow, it won't be long before the Wii sales start to slow down. Especially after the long awaited JRPG's hit Japan and some of the franchises start making a come back on the PS3. MS also will be doing well with the stupidly low price and Fable2 with GeoW2.

Lets not derail this thread into a PS3 discussion please :P

Regardless of "scores" that Wii titles get, only one thing matters in the end - sales.

All the scores do is show how "out of touch" the games media is with regards to reviewing Wii titles for its user base. Sales of WiiPlay & WiiSports say it all really.

It's quite fair.  Although PS2 wasn't selling worldwide for many months, the reason was a lack of stock(which you do point out).  Therefore, more PS2s could not have been sold during the period.

However, because of those shortages it wouldn't be right to think that the Wii will continue to outperform the PS2 by ~30%.  Heck, that'd be about as crazzy as thinking the PS3 will sell the same amount as PS2 in "similar" years.

^ The one thing I will say in Maynards defence is that I think if you look at the argument logically, which is the speculation of sales among Normal-Nongaming-cazer class-doesn't know what HD resolution is even if it's stamped to their forhead's consumer, that PEOPLE don't know about franchises that are popular among the people who frequent these videogame sites. It baffles me the way some people on hear don't comprehend that. If a series which is a big thing to hardcore gamers sells less than 500,000 in two days, their all like OH shit it BOMBED, WHY! I blame George Bush or some shit. (I'll blame Wii Fit!! :^)). The average Soccer Mom and their 6-year old (lets face it, Gamers aren't the majority on the market anymore) aren't going to know or care about Yakuza Kenzan, or any title that has it's roots on some system 10 years ago. Guilty Gear, Fallout, Armored Core, ioi, Tempest, Bionic Commando, Tekken, are only familiar to US. To the majority of game buyers on the market these titles may as well be called Fushimigami, ioi, and Bullshit the wonder puppy because they won't care for it anyway and they aren't researching the product they spend their money on. SO yeah the Wii library looks the greatest to the people who have only heard the videogame words Mario, Zelda, Nintendogs, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Doom, Crash Whatsisname, Ms Pac-man, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, That guy who does that thing, Doesn't Star Wars have a game? and oh yeah Guitar Band!
ok I'm done.

-edit-

I almost forgot "Wii thingy"! (quoted from actual customer in store)

Expand the graph out to 400 weeks. Just looking at the slope of the slow period, the wii outsells the PS2 where it includes holidays. The wii is still supply constrained. Given the current level of sales, which doesn't match the new production levels, you know Nintedo is stock piling. Just think what the graph will look like in 4 months...

You could argue about quality (or lack of), but according to metacritic the wii has 258 games and the PS3 has 206.  I wonder how many games the PS2 had at this point in it's life...
