@JRPG: But how will the motion controller even matter when 100% of the PS2's games weren't developed around it?  It's a terrible idea.  And you thought some games added pointless waggle on the Wii...

What i'm saying is it is a PS2. It has all the normal controler slots and just happens to be bundled with a motion controler. Its like they are launching a new console except not. Its the same old PS2 it just happens that it can now play any game the Wii can and play the old PS2 library.

 

Understand?

If Sony would just introduce a PS2 with motion controls, they'd be starting with installed base of 0.

 

Thats the point. It would be a "backwards compatible PS2" with motion controls, a PS2.5 if you will. Every Wii game could be ported to it.

 

They could call it something non threatening like a Pii. How genius whould that be? Sony could have a new console basically without doing much work. Hell the PS2 already rivals the Wii in power so why not?

lol wow where the hell do guys like you come from?

 The PS 2 couldn´t rival the gamecube so how the frack can it rival the Wii when the Wii is more powerful then the gamecube?

Stop trolling or your stay on this site will be a short one.

Stop being so defensive, it makes you look like a pussy.

You know as well as i do that the Wii is just slightly more powerful than the PS2. Most Wii games are not even PS2 quality anyway.

 

I am not defensive at all, I just don´t like fucking liars like you trolling.

 

How can it be barely stronger then the PS2 when the Gamecube was way more powerful  the PS 2 and the Wii is atleast 2,5 times more powerful then Gamecube?

How can it be the Wii´s fault if games have worse quality then PS2 (which isn´t true), it´s developers being lazy for Wii games not being as good as they could and they still are better then most PS2 games even if they aren´t as good as the should have been.

Apparently because the Wii gets alot of PSP/PS2 ports, Sony has gotten the idea that by lowering the price and putting out more "casual" games like Sing Star, Buzz and MLB (evedentally because of Wii Sports all sports games are killer apps)  they can eat into Wii's sales. They say none of this will eat into sales of the PS3 and infact people who by a $100 PS2 might at some point buy a $400-$500 PS3.

I've heard this suggested on Forums that Sony should do this. Some internet forum posters must have gotten hold of Sony I guess.

Of course they're still missing the Motion Controls. Then they'll finally be set!

 

It has motion controls. Not only in third party stuff but also in the eyetoy.

 



Check out my game about moles ^

@ Roma

Oh he will see it but he will ignore it like the last user that posted that the Wii is only 70 mhz stronger then the Wii a few days ago. I posted the same post to him but as they always do they just ignore it and go on to the next thread and say the same thing.

The post is mostly for other users just in case they think he is a truthful fucker which he obviously isn´t.
