A large portion of XBox 360 and PS3 owners this generation (possibly more than half) bought a Wii first. 

How do you know this?


I don't think there is any dispute about the "large portion" comment, because that is fairly open to interpretation, but the "possibly more than half" comes from personal experience ...

Everyone I know who owns a console (that I know of) is a multi-console owner and bought the Wii first. From 2006 to 2008 everyone bought their Wii, and most of them picked up a XBox 360 or PS3 after that when their prices became more reasonable. When you look at hardware sales and how the Wii sold (roughly) as many as the PS3 and XBox 360 combined until the end of 2009 it is not that unreasonable of an assumption.

No, no, no, then you're assuming a large portion of gamers actually own more than one console. I find that very hard to believe.
