Is there really some grounds for that the wii would have expanded the market that much?

If you compare the leading/second/third place consoles from last 2 gens(from the launches) you will see that:

Wii has done:

3,2m better than ps2 in america
3,1m better in eu
1,5m worse in jap

=4,8m better than last gen number 1 console overall

360 has done:

3,3m better than xbox in america
4,5m better in eu
500k better in jap

=8,3m better than last gen number 2 console overall

ps3 has done:

500k better than gc in america
6,5m better in eu
200k worse in jap

=6,8m better than last gen number 3 console overall.

Raw numbers wise second and third place consoles have done better than wii and percentage wise a lot better. :O

 

If the Wii is having more sales than the PS2 did with only 50% of the market when the PS2 had 80%, then you just proved your question that the Wii really is expanding the market that much.
