| TWRoO said: Yes of course. By Nintendo's most recent figures (mid-2009) about 20% of Wii owners didn't own a 6th gen console (some of those may have skipped 6th gen or been handheld/PC gamers beforehand, so not all are new gamers, but that is not important for the OPs question) 80% of 60 million is 48 million, MOST of those have to be PS2 owners simply because there were not enough GC and XB owners to spread around. (not all of them will have bought a 7th gen console yet) |
this was the info I was looking for to counter Carl in the very first reply, but I couldn't find a link for it. While Nintendo has "expanded" the market, they have also stole the "non-hardcore" from Sony and Microsoft. Both of those consoles started the generation with "hardcore" in mind, compared to the PS2 which was just a games console for everyone.
