I was ready to stop playing Console games altogether when Iwata revealed the Wiimote during E3 2006. I wasn't willing to play PS1 games (with better graphics!) for another 5 years.
As for your question: Casuals won't buy consoles until they approach $200. The PS2 would be alive for at least 3 more years, until MS or Sony hits that sweet spot.
There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
