The PS2 had the biggest game library because it was the dominant-selling console of its generation, outselling both the Xbox and Gamecube combined. The PS3, on the other hand, has been a massive commercial failure for Sony. Developers will support the platform with the largest install base, and right now, that's the Xbox 360 (the Wii is more of a novelty system that generally won't see the same type of games that would be made for the Xbox/PS3).
Here are the US October sales figures for the consoles. Note that this is
after the PS3 price drop.
Wii 519K
Xbox 360 366K
PlayStation 2 184K
PlayStation 3 121K
You know things are bad for Sony when their previous-gen console is selling 50% better than their current-gen offering.
