Online, PSN games, HOME -> that will appeal to casuals, PS2 didn`t have that.
AND how MANY PS2 users will JUMP for the Wii JUST because of CONTROLS? HoW many Casuals will ABANDON their favourite PS2 SERIES(Tekken, socom, jak, ratchet, final fantasy and etc.) for Wii? 80-90% of PS2 userbase? DREAM ON.

Most already have look at sales of Ratchet and Clank on PS3, very low, compared to other R&C games, they've already abandoned it. You assume that those games will appeal to casual, yet the buzz for those are entirely traditional gamers
The Wii's launch lineup was just as weak as any, people mostly bought it because it was different I think,
Accessible and fun, Wii sports anyone can pick up and play
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
