So after reading 10000 posts like this one I have a few statemnts I would like to make:

 

1)  No matter how you view it, there are VERY few people who own only a Wii.  It is a novel console that is fun for everyone and every person should have one in addition to a new age console (ps3/360) <- meaning I find it hard to compare Wii numbers to ps3/360



What I can be sure of is that at a minimum, 50% of current Wii owners will only own the Wii, most of those will be some of last gens GC and PS2 owners.... and I think it more likely it is nearer 70 or 80% of Wii owners are only Wii owners.

 

The people that own only  a Wii in "this gen" own a PS2 which is still fully supported by most developers and will eventually migrate to a 360/ps3.  Price of next gen systems is holding back a large segment of last gen owners, i mean PS2 is still moving 1 million software a week worldwide... how many of these titles are sports/interactive games that are multiplat?  How many last gen players were young and migrated to PC gaming in their maturity?  How many gamers have been sucked into the World of Warcraft blackhole of no return(since it entirely consumes all your free time).  I will admit I exagerated, but are you seriously saying 50% of Wii owners solely own a Wii (50% at minimum might I add), I really find this to be more exagerated.It's probably closer to 25-30%.
