@steverhcp:
I just don't understand your point. In the first post you say that we can't compare Wii to PS360, while in the core there obviously the same: gameconsoles. They are looking for the same audience: people that play games.
DVD, BluRay and VHS all play films. They're in the same market and indeed sometimes "old tech" will be replaced by "new tech" but this doesn't change the fact that they look for the same customers: people that buy films. So it doesn't create a new market, it just takes over that market.
To illustrate that Wii and PS360 are competing with each other:
PS2 sold 50 million in North America. 50 million!!! That's 1 in 6! I figure that's 1 in 3 households that own a PS2! Now I'm sure Wii has been bought by people that never bought a system before, but on average it replaces the PS2, with the big difference that the whole family, instead of just the kids, use it.
NPD affirms this as according to them 70% of Wii owners owned a PS2.
My post wasn't meant offensive, but the "Wii doesn't compete" meme has been done for over two years now.
