People are rebuying PS3 because its a Slim unit.

People are rebuying 360s because they RROD.

People are...wait, I don't know anyone who has bought a new Wii. They either still have their original or sold it.

If anything, the 360 and PS3 should be getting MORE sales for all these extra purchases.

well concidering the 4.2 is bricking wiis theres a good reason to get a new one. I mean most people don't care enough to use insurance.. and a lot of people has probably modded their console.

I suppose that will be the response of some people.  Especially those who were into modding.  But I know many people who had problems wit htheir Wii in the past.  Especially due to the early update 'gitch' with not being able to play Brawl.  And they not only went through the trouble of sending their console in for repairs, but got it fixed for free.
