some people here complain that the wii will not have the market share that the ps2 had so what? the wii already did way far beyond than what ANYONE expected even nintendo. for a console that came from last place the last gen and less than 20%a 50% is a great achivement. it already doubled the gamecube sales. and it is not going to be forgotten.

 

 of course the wii will not have ps2's market share, it will surpass it...

 

You're kidding right? The wii may outsell ps2 but it's inability to be a stand alone/primary console for a lot of gamers would ensure it never gets to thatkind of marketshare.

Most people who bought ps2s never bought any other console but a much greater % of wii owners have either a ps3 or 360 or both which gimps the wiis ability to gain marketshare.

This is not true. According to NPD multiconsole ownership in the US is only 2-3%. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=18107
