Looking at the statistics for the lattest madden game
Madden 09
the XBOX 360 sold 0.9 Million
the PS2 0.57+ PS3 0.35 Sold 0.9 Million
Madden 08
XBOX 360 Sold 2.3 Million
PS3 0.8 M + PS2 2.2 Mil = 3 Mill.
Between 08 and 09 it's apparent that some of the PS2 fanbase has move to the 360 and Wii ( i'm guessing more 360 than Wii) but a larger percentage of next gen adopters have stayed with the Playstation brand (not neccaserily exclusivley). Between 08 and 09 we see a shift of sales , the PS3 accounting for more overall sales than the last madden.
It apears the success of the PS2 is both a saving graces for Sony ( in terms of profitability) and a limiting factor of the PS3 , the PS2 is just too good to die at this moment in time meaning that the adoption of the PS3 is slower than it otherwise would have been if the PS2 flopped following the releases of the PS3.

It's quite apparent that more of the ps2 owners are going to the wii than the 360. If you're using madden sales as a comparison obviously it's going to be very biased toward the 360.

No i disagree it's not quite apparent , the Wii's install base may create that illusion but I believe that the Wii userbase is that large because of new demographics not because Nintendo stole existing ones it's really a combination of both consisting largley of the newer demographic. Unless you have evidence to the contrary I think i'll stay in my opinion.

Can't prove it completely, though you certainly don't have any good evidence. NPD survey says PS2 owners are choosing the wii, Japan sales show clearly people are choosing the wii, with wii sales 3 to 1 over PS3 there is no way there is that many new gamers.
