Nintendo’s true competitor (Malstrom)

But you haven't done the math to prove it either, you even said you didn't want to take the time, so why should I do it?

Actually most of the people who were introduced to gaming in the Playstation era are considered part of the core, remember these are kids we're talking about.

Actually the wider audience of the playstation ear would care, see the wider auidence games of the playstation era, were also the less complex core games, many were sports games and more simpler/arcade style games.

No gaming wasn't mainstream in the PS2 era, this is a myth, when did you see the older audience and women gravitate to the PS2 as you have seen with the DS and Wii? You make a mistake in thinking its a zero sum game, Wii/DS has succeeded in reaching the wider audience much better than the PS2, nowadays you see women and older floks playing the Wii and DS, people who never played before, Nitnendo is also reaching out to the Playsation wider audience, and also the old-school audience who played back in the NES era,only people complaining are the current core.

Ah, but look at NSMB DS, going to be over 20 million sold, and look at Galaxy, less than 10, so there could be as many as 10 million out there waiting for a 2D mario on the Wii.
