No, but the PS2 audience would have. The only reason Wii was able to get off the ground was its price versus the other consoles and not some mythic property inherent in games like Wii Sports or Wii Play that only sold as well as they did because they were bundled with the system, a controller, or dirt cheap.

Nah, not remotely true. Wii got the whole family involved, everything up to mother, father, and grandparents. PS2 never did that on any large scale. Sorry but you're way off base.
The "lost" PS2 owners went to 360, hence the PS360 userbase > Xbox, PS2.
Actually PS2 was around 100k when 360/PS3 released, PS360 are at 160m now.

Yeah and PS2 still managed to sell 150 million consoles. Something the Wii will never do with its audience of grandparents and elementary school kids.

Not sure why we're talking about this, but do you really think there aren't enough grandparents and kids in the world to facilitate +150m consoles? Also the Wii's problem was that it had way stronger competition and Nintendo pretty much let it die, whereas the PS2 had scrubs for competition and Sony let it sell tens of millions even after the 7th gen started.
Oh, and inb4 curl-6 points out that it had a normal console lifespan for the quadrillionth time. :L
