Hardware Mystery solved:Age,last generation,friends,time.

[WiiRHardcore]

It's no mystery, Wii is the casual/mainstream console of choice this generation, just like the PS2 was last gen.

I had a friend at work tell me about getting a Wii for Christmas, he then bought quantum of solace. Clearly, these people don't read reviews and they don't discuss console sales on message boards. Another friend heard us talking and said, "you guys are lucky, I want a Wii". I was shocked because he has a PS2 and always made fun of me for having a gamecube.
