I am absolutely willing to admit the Wii is far and away the sales leader this generation...however I do NOT think that the Wii and the 360/PS3 are targeted at the exact same demographic and therefor can understand Reask's line of reasoning.

The Wii has expanded the market to such a degree that "non" gamers are becoming gamers...something MS and Sony have been hoping to do for years. However I would posit that for a certain demographic, the Wii simply is not an option for the types of games that PS3/360 offers. To deny this, I think is disingenuous.

Please note that I've made no comment on the "superiority" of any of the consoles. Given my gamertag and post history I'm sure many of you will come to your own conclusions. That's fair, but I just don't think that many of the 360/PS3 owners on this board (and to generalize horrendously I know, anywhere) consider the Wii a direct competitor for the type of gaming experience the PS3/360 offer. Hell I don't think Nintendo does, they specifically went after a DIFFERENT experience.

Now if I admit that the Wii is absolutely dominating sales this generation, why would my above comments upset Wii owners?
