No. Will not attract enough of core gaming audience. Even with the wii new market it wont be abel to do it without the Madden and Halo3 type buyers.

 Oh it'll get those too, for those it will be their second console, and also many of them have family members who will want it


I dissagree seeing how alot of the gaming audience no longer live with their family and are just starting to live on their own.  I agree that many wii owners will buy another console but It wont nearly go the other way as much. 

This a a big chunk gamers that the Wii would need to pass the ps2.  The PS2 got most of the wii owners minus the new market the wii has goten.  I dont think the new market for the Wii is bigger than this type of Gamer.

 A 360 owner will be happy with just a 360.  A wii owner may want a ps3 or 360.

Please explain to me what would make a Sports/FPS fan who owns 360 or PS3 want a Wii.


 Wii sports games for example, if you notice how fast its sales have been either you have to accept one of two things, either traditional gamers are buying as well, or Wii's new market is huge beyond what we have seen before
