The user shift from wii to HD

[theRepublic]

I'm pretty sure that those other people you talked to were the six people who voted in your other thread. There are several problems with that.

First, your sample size is tiny in comparision to the millions and millions of console owners. Your evidence is only anecdotal at this point.

Second, your are polling a video game forum, where you will find the most dedicated gamers. That will cause a bias in the answers you receive, and so your data cannot be applied to the population at large.

As for some sort of user shift from the Wii, that just doesn't seem to be happening. The Wii has consistently outsold the PS3 and 360 combined for the better part of a year now. Nothing that Sony or Microsoft has done has seemed to have any effect on the success of Nintendo. I just don't see what you are talking about.

In terms of software, the Wii is right where it should be. Take a look at this excellent post by Sqrl fpr evidence of that.  If there was a shift, either software or hardware for the Wii would be underperforming, but it is not.
