I disagree, the flaw with your argument is your assuming the soccer moms who bought the Wii didn't buy PS2s previously. The PS2 wouldn't have sold 150 million units without them. Soccer moms moved over to the Wii which is why it sold the highest amount of consoles this gen. Microsoft and Sony just shared the rest of the gamers.

This. People like to believe that the PS2 was a hardcore console through and  through, but this wasn't the case.  Lots of people got it as a cheap DVD player, or to play games like Guitar Hero, Buzz, SingStar, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
