The Wii captured the PS2's casual market, add in the Nintendo core, and you'll have Nintendo's current numbers. I still don't think Nintendo expanded much, and as I edited, I don't think this gen actually expanded much considering there's probably far more multiplatform owners this gen than last. I mean, let's say 20 million 360 users own a Wii, that means there's 70 million unique Wii owners vs 40 million unique 360 owners. Same can be said with applying the idea to PS3+ 360 owners, Wii + PS3 owners etc. Last gen, at min, you had 100 million unique PS2 owners (150 PS2 - 25 million gamecubes + 25 million Xboxes). Like I'm probably not articulating myself properly, but this gen didn't expand as much as people think. |
No, I like your logic.
I would be ready to say that there were 125m non-multi-owned PS2 sales, because I know a few cases of xbox only or cube only fans, or some who only got a cube and an xbox. Then, I would be ready to subtract some 40m sales from the original PS2 model to yield some 85m unique PS2 owneres last gen.
But that's just a number, I don't know how to feed back into our previous logic :)
