Expanding the market is phase one of Nintendo's strategy. The taking over happens later when the install base has been established and third parties can ignore the Wii at the risk of thier very existance.

You're a fool if you truly believe the PR spin by both Microsoft and Sony that the Wii is in an entirely different market than the 360 and the PS3. I don't even think both companies believe it themselves. If they do, well, good luck being in distant second and third place for not being prepared enough.

Remember, hardcores are a significantly small portion of the market, but they do buy a significantly higher number of games more than the casuals. Nintendo makes hardware so they can sell their software. Put two and two together.


I don't need to listen to PR, I myself believe it's a different market. There are far too many games that are not on the Wii. Huge console sellers are not on the Wii, therefore the other 2 consoles will sell. If you don't believe that...well, I'll just say you're wrong rather than call you a fool.
