yes but all the xbox had was shooters, it had few decent rpgs and few successful games that werent shooter or action based.  The PS2 had EVERY category that is what i am trying to get at, the Wii still does not

Its currently tracking higher than the PS2, it just depends how long this generation lasts. The demand is clearly there. So, if this generation lasts 5-6 years, then I say theres a good shot of the Wii outselling the PS2

But at this point in its lifetime the PS2 was at 26 million...

I agree, thats why i said it "still does not" have the games, of course as it continues to sell more developers will start making games for the Wii, the question is will those games be enjoyable using the Wiimote and with graphics that dont compare to the competition

GRAPHICS DO NOT MEAN GAMEPLAY, some games work so hard on graphics that the gameplay suffers

Shooters are great for Wii too with that Wii Zapper thing

again READ the POST not half of it then make your assumption, the wiimote is horrible for shooters, (hence the gameplay) while the wii zapper might be better you cannot deny graphics in this gen is in fact a major selling point...there had to be at least 10 threads here a day talking about graphics, if people wanted to play shooters with PS2 graphics they would play a PS2 game

If graphics is a major selling point why is Wii at 49.1% marketshare and rising?

I read your whole posts too.

because it is cleverly marketed, in a way that gets the average person wanting to buy it. Wii FIt is the perfect example. it appeals to people of any age, whereas Halo for example only appeals to a certain group of people

Also, if I wanted to play a shooter, I'd probably get it for the PC (if mine had enough RAM...) because in my opinion CONTROL (mouse/keyboard > controller) is the best on PC anyway

I think you under estimate the importance of graphics as i hear that as number 2 thing people look for in games (behind gameplay of course)  do you think a game like killzone 2 would get anywhere near the buzz its getting if it wasnt for its graphics?  first thing people think of when they think of Uncharted is its graphics.  Further more the lack of a hard drive is a sever hindrance on the Wii
