@Simulacrum: You replied to a post, that said M$ wanting to make sure 360 is the second console in peoples homes, with saying that the way you see it, Wii is the second console for most people.
Now, the post you replied, was referring that M$ wants to push 360 to same homes that already has a Wii as a second console. Then, your reply in context to the post you replied, was saying that more than half of the Wii owners have bought their Wii as a secondary console to go with other current gen console, PS3 or 360. Now, we hardly can count last gen consoles as current gen and we hardly can count PC as a console, which indicates you were obviously meaning something else that you wrote.

@ymeaga1n: The trend since launch have been, that PS3 has slowly been catching 360.

Without brand loyalty, how well would PS3 sell in relation to 360? Aside from BD and a couple of exclusives, there's very little difference between the two. Still, PS3 have been trending to sell better than 360 since launch, with much higher price. If you didn't notice, i addressed this issue already in the post you replied to.
Nintendo is differentiating from the group, so the people who wants the new gaming experience, have no choice but to get a Wii, if PS3 would offer the same experience, the sales would be a whole lot different, with the most propability.
Now, PS3 has been about 1,5 times as expensive as HDD model 360, for most of the time, they offer the same and still, PS3 has sold better.

That's the reason why the strategy Nintendo is using is called disruption; it breaks the convential values that are dominant in the market.
