Thejimbo. This shall be my last post on the matter, because you (and I don't intend to be rude here) do not know enough about the sales patterns of the past to have a reasonable discussion about the future. I do not say this in a mean way, you probably know more than I did when I'd been on this site for the same amount of time.
Regarding big games not pushing hardware, look at the dates that big games released on the WiiU, look at hardware sales then, and look at hardware sales during the lull. I assure you, the big games DID push WiiU sales a lot.
Regarding the PS2 being 'aimed at all audiences' and the Wii being 'casual', that is just nonsense and I shall have no more part in such a discussion.
As for competition for the 3DS, I assume you aren't meaning Vita? You refer of course to the 'smartphones are going to kill off handhelds' bollocks? That is about as reasonable as assuming that the Wii expanding the gaming audience would somehow kill of the audience for more traditional games.What's better, 50% share of a market of 200 million? or 25% share of a market of 1 billion? More gamers is a good thing, the market is big enough for handhelds and phones.
The eyetoy did poorly because of the lack of software, and because alternative control schemes have to be bundled with the console, or very cheap in order to do well - otherwise developers don't make games for them as it reduces the userbase considerably. As for "where are the CEO comments about the new expanded market, they are here 'www.google.com', there are a LOT of them, please read some, you might learn a bit about why the Wii succeeded.
