How much was the Wii success due to motion controls?

Agreed with Solid_Snake4RD. If the PS3 was cheaper and had better titles available at launch, the PS2 user base would've bought PS3s instead of Wiis, meaning that the PS3 would have won this gen. Needless to say, Nintendo fan boys will always buy Nintendo systems, so that helps them in sales. PS3 marketing was awful until Kevin Butler came in, while the Wii's marketing was top-notch. Cheap price also helped. 

no, Ps3 is Ps2 with better graphics and worst price

the experience is very similar (for average human beings), but the experience between Wii and Ps2/GC is very different and obvious , and that's what made Wii sell

Well, PS2=PS1 with better graphics and new successful franchises along with reiterations of great PS1 franchises (MGS, FF, GT) with reasonable price. So I didn't catch your point...

that's true, but Ps2 had almost zero competition, plus the dvd support (which was huge at that time) along with a normal price, and ALL the support from 3rd parties

now, not everyone cares about Ps3's blu-ray (so some choose Xbox360), and many more choose Wii, which provides something completely different

Ps3 is facing more competition, and does provide something very different than Xbox360

all in all, the difference between Ps3 and Ps2 is much smaller than what the difference is between Wii and Ps2, at least that's how average humans see it
