How is selling at a rate faster than the previous market leader snubbing HD consoles? The market would be just fine without the Wii, and yes of course the public chose the Wii over the HD consoles, that's pretty easy to see.
And forgive me for misinterpreting the graph that wouldn't start at March like I wanted it to, I gave you extra to help out your argument. Apparently it went unappreciated.
Some people are unhappy with HD consoles and want something different, but if the Wii wasn't around it doesn't mean that the industry would fade into nonexistence, that's just silly.
