Will 360/PS3 catch the Wii in lifetime sales?

I'm sure Halo and GTA broke new ground but they sold because of last gen, not anything they did this gen.

Pre-CoD, PS3/360 sold because the Wii sold. Wii got people gaming, PS3/360 offered big budget/high-end gaming, CoD being the prime example. Without the Wii, I don't believe the 360/PS3 would have sold as much. Just as the PSP lived off the DS success.

Nintendo got people back into gaming such that they bought extra consoles/more gaming.

How many PSP owners have never played/owned/had access to a DS? How many 360/PS3 owners never owned/had access to a Wii?

Just....no. Wii success had no impact on PS3 or Xbox 360.
Sure it could have something to do with Kinect and Move sales but not anything else.

I am one of those people that has never owned a Wii or a DS and own both a PSP and PS3.

Of course it did. If mom has bought a Wii for herself with Wii Fit then you can save your $250 and buy a 360 and Mario Galaxy instead while still retaining your elite gamer status by not being forced to buy Wii Sports.
