If games did not push the PS2 to the sales it currently has, then what is going to push the Wii to the hights of even the PS2. You also have to remember that PS1and 2 were also very unreliable systems, and that accounted for a very high amount of people buying 2 or 3 each. The Wii has neither of these advantages. The 360 has both, and the PS3 has 1. As far as Blu-ray goes, yes people do want it they just don't know it yet. It is the same thing that happens at the generation shift in any media. Record to Tapes, Tapes to CD's, CD's to DDL, VHS to DVD, DVD to Blu-ray, SDTV to HDTV, PS1 to PS2, PS2 to PS3. When you ask a general audiance if they care about somthing the first year or two after its launch the majority will always say no. That is why their are early adaptors, thouse who can wait, and thouse that will grab it once it is on its way out. In the Case we have right now their is a format that refuses to wave the white flag, which is not helping matters any. Once they are gone the move will begin to happen rapidly.

Well oct 2000 to may 2002 is 1 year 6 months, and from nov 2000 to spet 2001 is10 months, so I guess on average I was about 4 months off. I don't really think that makes a big deal. Sony had a rediculous amount of momentum at that point and all they did was add to the fire. It would be the same as if Nintendo all of the sudden started producing 4m Wii's a month and dropped the price to 149. The only differance is Sony had the momentum, and when thier rivals even hinted Sony slammed the door in their face.
