The modern console collecting topic (PS2 to PS3)

[duffmanth]

duffmanth,

Gamecube and Wii both had a healthy selection of exclusives, believe me. I even believe Wii is comparable/superior to PS3+360

The 1 2 P,

Your point about PS2 RPGs not holding their value is an interesting phenomenon, an occurrence I'm grateful for yet cannot explain. There are some quality RPGs on PS2, some of the best ever, and I should know, I collect niche JRPGs, yet most are still affordable. Some are strangely cheap even, complete big box Dragon Quest 8 for $10? Crazy.

The PSP has many exclusives, though a decent number are japan only.

ReaXan,

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that. It makes collecting here (Seattle, WA area) sound like paradise. There are a number of independent game stores here, and they tend to price things pretty fairly and have good stuff, but good luck finding any "deals". There seem to be many collectors here, so whatever Goodwill/etc. might have gets snatched up fast.

I strongly disagree with the Cube and Wii having better exclusives than the PS3, maybe they do have better exclusives than the Xbox 360? The Cube definitely had a few exclusives that I really enjoyed, but they were far and few between. The Wii probably has the worst game selection, both exclusive and 3rd party, that I've ever seen.

The bootleg problem with GBA games is just terrible. Even when it was still a current system, it was often hard to find anything out of print online other than bootlegs. Even Ebay which generally takes down that sort of thing was just littered with fakes. I went nuts trying to find a legit copy of one of the Castlevanias, never did find one that wasn't highly overpriced or highly suspicious (fortunately Konami rereleased it as part of the CV Double Pack, so I scooped that up at Best Buy even though I already had the other game on the cart.).

The Wii had many quality exclusives and multiplats, and here's a basic list I compiled,

Are you certain the Wii had such a poor library?
