I fully agree with this statement. People forget or dont know about some of the stuff in the PS2 library. You know Ninjabread Man for the Wii? That got a PS2 release (though not in the states) back in 2005. Where was Sony's QA board then?
Furthermore, there was a TON of shit on the NES/SNES.
The answer is that the 360/PS3 development costs are too high to make shovelware that attractive of an offer. Its also too high to make a lot of other things attractive as well, which is something I'm going to address later.
Did someone say Metacritic?

Good games have almost nothing to do with the success of a console, believe it or not.
