You're right, it targets the same demographic, the people that want the latest craze.

It just dawned on me, X360 and PS3 also share the benefit of being mainly core consoles, it's been gamers that have been buying them up until now, that'll see they outlast Wii .... gamers are more loyal than perhaps people that wernt gamers this gen ... a nice way to put it lol.

Of course the 360 and PS3 are going to enjoy casuals buying the systems now, but they'll still be attracting what gamers love about consoles.

Again, to think 360 and PS3 are guarenteed to outlast the Wii is very shortsighted. Nothing is guarenteed. I suppose they could outlast it, but Nintendo will have to either cut the life short by releasing a new console before them, OR compeltely stop releasing games that people want to buy (which essentially happened the first 9 months of this year). Being more of a "core console" (whatever that means) has nothing to do with it. 

Didn't even bring the word guaranteed into this .. I certainly don't think it is.

And being a core console has everything to do with it, it's why PS2 has lasted so long, and why Wii won't follow a similar path.
