Why, you've actually checked every single household in the world to see if PS2 owners have a WII or heard from the people they're planning to buy one? Check Playstation forums and then you'll find a whole bunch of gamers who don't want a WII and are waiting for the PS3 to drop in price and have a better choice in games. Nintendo fans are not the only ones who rather stick with their own brand. @Bodhesatva: what I always meant to say is yes sure it will get new fans, but will it be the same? I've never "actually" said Kingdom Hearts will only loose fans, so that's nonsense! All before we know it the sales of Kingdom Hearts, comparing to sales on the PS2 is a flop on the WII. |
No, have you checked every single household in the world either? I know many people with a PS2 and a Wii, and I know no one with a PS3 (at all). The people who frequent the Playstation forums are a small subset of the PS2 userbase, and the exact subset who would prefer a PS3 over a Wii. Check Nintendo forums (hell, just look in here, there's a thread about this somewhere) and you'll see that many people want a Wii and couldn't care less about the PS3. You'll find many of these people owned a PS2 as well.
Of course Sony fans will want to stick with Sony consoles, just like Nintendo fans would like to stick with Nintendo consoles, but these people are the vast minority Most people couldn't care less about brand name and simply want the console that they think will give them the most enjoyment for their dollar. And at the moment, most people seem to be picking the Wii for that. For every PS2 owner who is waiting on a price drop on the PS3, there are probably 10 that will just walk into a store one day and pick up the console that looks the best to them.
This "wait until the PS2 userbase that is waiting for the PS3 price to drop" argument is ridiculous, because the majority of the PS2 user base is made up of casual gamers who couldn't care less about what company makes the console in their house.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
