Third parties will come, don't worry about it. They are already announcing games, good games.

It was a matter of time ;)

I already own more Wii games than I do PS2 games.

So as of right now I think Wii's library > PS2's.

But of course that's just me. I didn't really like the PS2.

 

Well, you may very well enjoy the Wii games you own so far more than the ps2 games you have, there's nothing wrong with that. If your ps2 library here is complete, especially considering how many games you own for other consoles, you definately missed out on a ton of ps2 games by only sticking to a few popular franchises. Maybe you didn't like the controller, who knows, but something tells me your impression of the ps2's library is far from accurate.

I am sure they counted same numbers of wiis and PS2s sold. And lucky for wii that it was only US which was counted. In Europe (expesily in England ) Wii is collecting more dust than my history book. I think DS is most played in Europe. And lots of people who bought PS2 are using their PS2 for DVD movies not games. So wii got beaten by half DVD player and half gaming console

No they did not.... it was an extrapolation of a small sample to represent the whole, otherwise why the fuck do you think the original Xbox beat the PS3, the console died 2 years ago so hardly any new games are bought, yet it was played more the the PS3.

And you really don't know where you are going regarding Europe.... in general playtime is lower across the board for all consoles but the difference in percentage between consoles will not differ too much.
I would say Europe will show slightly more bias towards the PS2 and 3, and bias against the Xbox 360... and neutral with the Wii (although the percentage will drop for Wii due to the bias towards the PS consoles, the Wii will likely take the lead as the most played 7th gen console because the X360 will fall further)

Lol, that was good for a laugh. I've never seen you use "fuck" before. (or any swear, even)


OT:It's hard to tell how the PS3 will end up in America, but it seems like it'll be between the GC and Xbox. Just see the graph below - you'll notice it flared up in sales summer 08, but once it died down, it's back on track with the last gen consoles.

The Xbox had a great 3rd year, too (Halo 2), will be interesting to see if the PS3 can keep up.


Oh, and to those comparing the Wii's library to the PS2's - yeah, maybe it won't be able to match it. Still, at least give it more time, you're comparing a system with a library 9 yrs strong to a 2yr old.

I save it for emphasis against people being incredibly stubborn

Not at all. Unless you think sales trends are going to differ dramatically, the Wii will outsell the PS2.
