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.

Did you read his post? The Wii is expanding the market the least out of the three consoles; it just so happens that the Xbox and GameCube were failures, which the PS3 and 360 are not. They will both double the sales of the Xbox, easily.
