YesWiiCan: Your next thread should be a comparison 2.5 yrs in, between the two consoles in question. Also I think people have rose colored glasses when looking back at the history of the PS2. Yes it had great games like MGS2, but for every great game there were heaps of Spongebobs and bob the builder or christina aguilera's karaoke master.

Why is it that all of a sudden the crap games on Wii are the ones that get trumpeted the most by ppl who dont like the system? Like they bring up cooking mama as if there isn't a game by the name of Mario Galaxy, or Metroid Prime Corruption.

Here's the closest you'll get.  The PS2 releases for it's first 2 and a half years

http://apps.metacritic.com/search/process?ty=3&ts=&tfs=game_all&sb=5&game_platform=PS2&release_date_s=3%2F4%2F2000&release_date_e=9%2F4%2F2002&x=27&y=13&metascore_s=&metascore_e=

which includes 24 games at a meta score of 90 or above

 

Wii is here for the same amount of time:

http://apps.metacritic.com/search/process?ty=3&ts=&tfs=game_all&sb=5&game_platform=wii&release_date_s=11%2F19%2F2006&release_date_e=5%2F19%2F2009&x=19&y=11&metascore_s=&metascore_e=

which has 8 games at a meta of 90 or above

 

 

The sad part is 3 of those are last gen ports.

OP: PS2 hands down.

i think the wii lacks alot of genres, it focuses on a couple genres and ignores the rest

What genre doesn't exist on the Wii?

There are no RPG's to speak of on the Wii other than Fire Emblem, which I own. And I'm not counting VC games either because I have been gaming for years, and have already played through the older RPGs on their respective original systems.

Please. Rune Factory Frontier. It's one of the best games the Wii has to offer.

PS2 for quality games. Wii games are terrible, 1 good game in 100 games. It's a GC with wiimote.

Wii library is a little underrated IMO but still I don't think Wii can ever match PS2 quantity of quality games when it has hard time to beat even X360 or PS3 in this area. PS2 had advantage that it got all third party games from day 1. Wii didn't and even nowadays I see more big budget third party titles on HD consoles than Wii.

Just simple fact you need to count Nintendo software from like 4 generations to even match PS2 library without PS1 titles shows which one is better.

Are you even tryin' to make sense?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
