I personally am disappointed in the wii as the sales somehow have not reflected the variety of games offered on the other 2 consoles.

That is just an opinion as I know the gaming community consists of lots of different tastes.

Eh what? The Wii library has more variety than the other two consoles.

I think what you mean is that the Wii isn't as strongly represented in the genres the HD consoles are focused on which also happen to be the genres you like by far the most. Or you mean that third parties so far haven't given the Wii the respect and support it would have deserved considering its sales numbers.

But that's going to be better and as I said before, in a few years a lot of people won't even remember the current state of the Wii library which still lacks in a few genres.

Ok point taken but c,mon the HD consoles are offering a pretty good variety of games compared to the wii.

Take my preference for example FPS games, to say the wii is lacking in that genre would be an understatement.

As for the future I mean where have we heard that before, PS3 anyone.

My OP said and still remains who will take the PS2 crown Console gaming wise and I stand by my bet.

Of your criteria, only the former has any real impact on anything. The latter is just how customers of the incumbent market see it, and quite frankly, customers of incumbent markets are notorious for giving into disruption instead of persistently resisting it.

All that said, while the current incumbent market is prone to pick 360 or PS3, much as the incumbent market of the 1980s was prone to favor the Commodore 64 and the Amiga, the market will favor the Wii and its eventual same-value successor as market leader in the long run. Just like how most gamers today wouldn't even rate the C64 or Amiga as being in the same class of gaming hardware as the NES, most gamers in 20 years would see it as silly to even compare the 360 or PS3 to the Wii, due to them catering to such different values.
