Wii gets plenty of ps2 ports for third partys. When the ps2 dies will be good for nintendo since third party's can not give us ps2 ports and will have to make games for the wii. Or will third party's just forget the wii

ports will most likely be gone. it will hopefully force devs to create from the ground up.

too bad the ps2 isn't dead. not for a another while anyway

the wii is cheaper to make for and has a larger install base, and when ps2 dies many people would own wii's by then so theyll just continue making their games, both bad and good, except maybe theyll be made with better controls or graphics. if they made the game for the ps2 its probably cause they wanted it to be low budget, they wouldnt just suddenly dishout millions of dollars out of no where to make high budget games on the other consoles.

Actually companies are focusing on the Wii over the PS2 like in Big Willy Style.

Are you making these negative threads for a reason? They're not exactly based on facts, more on your fears of what could happen by bucking every single fact out there right now.

Just think about, why would Sony let the PS2 die knowing that it's just going to hinder the Wii's potential in terms of good games?

I think that it could go both ways. I'm really wishing that the Wii would have more first-party games from nintendo. Don't get me wrong, i like mario galaxy and ssbb etc, but we need STAR FOX, F-ZERO, etc. nintendo could revive some franchises for us if the ports were gone. BUT i would miss some classics too from the ps2..

As long as the Wii is around, the PS2 will be around.

I thought that the PS2 has sold a total of like 120 million and the wii only like 20 million?

Dude, the person was just asking a question. They were not making a negative thread nor did they say anywhere that this was based on fact. Just because "every single fact out there right now" points to something does not mean that that is going to keep happen. This is real life and anything can happen.

1 less port doesnt mean 1 more new game... a lot of times they are just making the port because it was easy and not much of a hassle... if it were a hassle then they may just not make a game at all...

oh and to the TC... just because if the PS2 were to die it doesnt mean PS2 ports would die out... look at Bully and Okami... they were both ported to the wii well after they came out on the PS2... the same could still happen after the PS2 is dead.

I think 3rd party will begin because they will be forced to think up new ideas.
