Wii is getting a lot of sales from a new market... the non-gamers (also called casual, rofl). Mothers, grand-mothers, daddies, grand-daddies, little kids, etc. Look at the Wii comercials, a old dude playing bowling with his grand son? A full family playing tennis? WTF?
Both Wii and 360 are taking PS2 customers, of course they are. But they are taking much less than what we all believe. I think Sony knows this better than us and they want to do something to capture that market pretty soon.
I have no freaking idea what Sony has in mind but last time they did something to improve the PS3 business they introduced the 40Gb and that more than doubled the WW sales. If they manage to double them again we will all be surprised. Just think at this: if Sony properly retires the PS2 they will be selling PS3s to everyone that would be buying the retired PS2 and this alone will almost double the PS3 sales wouldwide.
