70% of Wii's "blue ocean" had a PS2. What were people buying on that?

DVDs.  70% of PS2 owners claimed they used the system primarily as a DVD player.

Oops.  Dangit I forgot to ignore you!

So why are they buying Wiis en masse?  It doesn't even play DVDs...

They're not.  Over half of PS2 owners supposedly don't even own a next-gen console yet.  No I don't have a link on hand.  You should be able to google it easily though.

Actually, 70% of the current US Wii market (15.4m) isn't too far off from 50% of the total US PS2 market (21.7m).  And if over 50% of PS2 owners don't have a next gen console yet, the PS360 must be largely a new audience (converted PC gamers?), given NPD also said multiconsole households are an extreme minority this gen (less than 20% iirc, based on data last year).
