yup kinda sad really..

Yes it is bu it´s also the mark of the troll, thats how you spot them.

Facts bite them in the ass and they don´t/won´t notice.

Its a failed strategy because frankly many wii owners are in a league of their own. There may be some who bought the wii who might be PS2 for the first time, but that won't eat into wii sales, that'll eat into X360 and possibly PS3 sales.

I definitely might pick up another PS2 though since my PS3 doesn't have BC. Insurance for 10 years down the road.

And the people who claim wii is more powerful than a PS2... good god no. They are almost exactly the same. Library wise the wii has a couple more years to go for that. Even then for a gamer like me, I doubt wii will ever have the kind of library I could consider better than PS2.

Haha they just keep on coming ;)

it seems to be the trolls national day today, thay are all out and celebrating their ignorance.

@JRPG: There has been a motion controller for PS2 for more than a year now. In2Games introduced it for christmas market 2007.

The problem with "just bundling" the motion controller is, that the controller would need software support and games that would sell the controller. Random toned down Wii ports (although a lot of what we've seen so far wouldn't need much toning down) wouldn't sell systems for the reasons mentioned earlier. Unless the motion control has wide 1st party support, it doesn't have much chance to succeed, atleast in terms of wide adoption. It would need bundles and good games to support it.
The problem with releasing a peripheral is, that as a peripheral, it wouldn't be a standard controller when the devs wouldn't have much incentive to put out games for it. Releasing a new system with BC would make a lot more sense.

In the end, all the milking or new system releases that try to take advantage of Wii fail, if the philosophy behind the Wii can't be duplicated into the system. And even then Wii would still be the system with the brandname. The philosophy can't be emulated with any of the current systems and that's why Wii won't have a real competition this gen, even if Sony or M$ would try.

Shit guys do we have to make a thread that explains the actual power of each console of each generation?

Wii = XBOX, XBOX = 4 times PS2.

Who won that generation? So it doesn't matter who's more powerful but ignoring facts does matter

I understand perfectly and it doesn't make an sense.  How will you play FPS with it?  If the game is not programmed to allow IR, a motion controller wouldn't be of any use. 

The only thing programmers could do is replace button presses with waggle all around.  Only NEWLY released games could take advantage of the peripheral in any way...

Understand?

Everyone here who keeps saying the PS2 library is the best library needs to stfu and stop being a fanboy. I own a PS2. I own MGS2 and MGS3. I've yet to find ANY other games that interest me on PS2. I haven't liked FF since 7. Gran Turismo bores me. GoW is meh.

It's opinion.

Seriously. Grow up.

I agree that PS2 can't be meant as a Wii competitor.
More likely Sony hopes to make it compete again against XB360 entry level models.
If it's lucky at it, the wildest additional Sony hope about it could be to force MS to "waste" a price cut against it. And in the worst case, to keep on making money from PS2 some more time. That must be all, anything else is cheap propaganda if it comes from Sony, but it borders lunacy if it comes from people actually swallowing that over-the-top PR.
