To be honest, the majority of games I see as having fast load times are on GameCube. In fact the console to have the fastest load times out of PS2/GCN/Xbox was the GameCube... I thought about it and there are games that have been released for both GameCube and PS2... the GameCube versions of these games load extremely quickly, but the PS2 games take three times as long to load, so I found myself not being able to list games like Resident Evil 4 because there is a version of it that loads very slowly.
Okay then, I withdraw my statements and resubmit them as "I expect short and unnoticable loadtimes for anything made on a Nintendo console (note: not just Nintendo games for a Nintendo console, I mean every game for a Nintendo console). For Sony and Microsoft on the other hand, I expect long and boring loadtimes gnawing away at valuable gameplay time." Though thankfully I've only ever played the games that are really worth playing for the PS2 and Xbox so I don't have to deal with it as much.
For Wii, I expect short loadtimes similar to that of the GameCube. You're right though, it is unrealistic to expect that of Sony and Microsoft . And yeah, I do realise that sounds very fanboyish, but then again they don't care about load times in the first place now do they.
Sorry about all this, I really am too used to load times without assistance to be around 4 seconds at the most and for games to be loaded on the fly like the many games that are released on the GCN are.
I totally forgot about all of the PS2 and Xbox games and didn't take them into account. My mistake.
