A lot of those are sports games and the only real gems worth anything was Tekken Tag and GT3.

The PS2 didn't do very well early on. Why is it the non-Playstation fans try so hard to separate the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3?

1: Please... Twisted Metal, SSX, and Rayman were classics. That's not even including all of the high AA games the PS2 also had in that window (games like Timesplitters, Onimusha, and the like were a blast too.)

2: Also not true, it sold a million in ONE WEEKEND alone in JAPAN ONLY its opening week. Its sales were consistently high, much like the Wii's are right now (except the Wii doesn't have the games to back it up, games are not driving Wii sales. Games drove PS2 sales...)

In countless threads I've read that "even though the PS2 dominated last generation its library was very poor early on much like the Wii's.... so the Wii will get the same amount of good-game-action seeing as it has the sales just like the PS2 had..."

Not true, the PS2 sold so much because its library was so strong right out of the gate. Its games drove its sales.

The PS2 launched in late October 2000 here in the US, the Wii in November 2006 here.

Here are the AAA PS2 games available into very early July of the year following launch (the same point the Wii is at right now: )

Game:.......................................Rating:

SSX.............................................9.4

Madden NFL 2001..........................9.1

Tekken Tag Tournament............... 9.4

FIFA 2001.....................................9.0

Rayman 2 Revolution.....................9.1

Twisted Metal Black....................... 9.5

NBA Steet.................................... 9.3

GT3: A-Spec................................ 9.4

That's just the AAA's the PS2 had in that window.... 8 of them. It was a very good library - much better than the Wii's current one. It also had countless other AA's in that window (extremely good ones too... Onimusha, Timesplitters, DOA2, etc. Could go on forever.) This isn't including imports either (that would add another AAA,) just the games released in the North American market.

For the first time in history the system with the worst (and that's an understatement) library is reaping the majority of the sales.

Is this what happens when you design a system for non-gamers? Looks like it. I guess Wii shouldn't be surprised.

What do you mean "beat?" Beat in sales? I have no idea, obviously good games don't determine who sells the most this generation (otherwise the Wii would be in last by far.)

So, I don't really know, nor do I care. I only care about games, and right now the 360's library slaughters the Wii's.

I hope neither Microsoft nor Sony go the way of Nintendo and try to appeal to non-gamers next time though to increase their sales..... because games would surely suffer....

However, it will apparently be using the same engine as the GCN game and it's not due until late 2008. Boo!Hoffgod

Eeeeesh.
