Crazzy Ken arrived

Ok Crazzy explain me this.... If the Wii has not converted any old PS2 owners, why have the sales of current Gen consoles in America not managed to surpass what the previous gen consoles did in the same timeframe.

You would have thought that as there are so many new gamers (if there are no PS2 owners with Wiis, but all GC owners now have it, that means nearly 10 million new gamers already) that sales would have far exceeded what they did last gen.

You can't give me any BS about "PS2 still selling" because the PS1 did exactly the same at the beginning of 6th Gen. (In America PS1 did better than the PS2 does now)

Face it, So far, Nintendo has not enticed a massive number of "new gamers" at all, My guess would be around 2-3 million (about 10%).

The Wii userbase will likely be made up of:
AT LEAST 60% will have owned a PS2 (most of those will be PS2 only)
AT LEAST 20% will not have owned a PS2, but will have owned GC/XB/DC (most of those will at least have a GC)

AT MOST 20% will not have had a 6th gen console, but at least a quarter of those will at least have had a console before hand (5th gen or earlier) or are a PC gamer as well)
