All my PS2-owning friends got the PS2 because it was affordable and had an absolute ton of games with a really diverse library, including party games, casual games, and games that won't scare girls away.

So now they all have Wiis.

Two of them have Wiis and 360s.

All my PS2 owning friends got PS3's.

 

If anyone here is really believing that the Wii fanbase is made up of former PS2 owners then Wii didn't expand the market as much as originally thought.

Oh I'm not saying that.  I'm just throwing my anecdotal evidence out there to counteract the OP's anecdotal evidence.  Neither of them mean anything.

The majority of PS2 owners either stuck with the PS2 or got a DS.

The Wii's main success is definitely from market expansion, including relapsed gamers.  I can prove that with some more meaningless anecdotal evidence: I didn't even have a console last gen.  The Wii brought me back.
