However, for all the kn's out there who WILL buy two consoles, there are just as many or more that WON'T buy two consoles. If any of these pick up a wii, that is lost game sales revenue to PS3 and X360.



I would tend to disagree with this argument. By and large, I don't think a *potential* 360 purchaser will purchase a Wii and vice versa. They are just that different.


QFT.

  I understand the differences of HD and other factors than most consumers, and I don't think the differences are that great, especially when you consider the price.

 alpha has it right...  even for those who buy two or more consoles...  For myself, I am likely to buy two consoles, but not all at launch...  I picked up a wii and I am happy with it, so will likely not get a PS3 (or 360, but I am biased against MS, so not likely for that anyways) until the price comes below $199 on ebay, and/or probably not until I am guessing 2011 if it starts to become the market leader...

Given my current disatisfaction of the PS3 titles combined with the high price, the earliest I would consider a PS3 is this upcoming holiday season (little better game selection), or early 08.  That would be if if the wii didn't exist or compete but it does...

Now the wii delayed my purchase of a PS3 by probably 3 years (if not more)...  On a per month, I am only going to spend so much per game.  I don't generally rent, but buy games. As long as I have a wii, at least some of those purchases are going to wii titles competing against other consoles I own.  For those few years where I delayed purchasing a PS3, those sales all go to the wii exclusively (ok, some goto PS2, etc...)
