Yes.  Every friend I know that raved about the Wii and loved it the first year dumped for a 360.  Then they all dumped that for a PS3 (Not kidding actually a little surprised).  I am not talking about casuals here.  I am talking about people with a massive gamer score selling their 360 and all their games for a PS4.

 

Most of my friends were fanboys at one point for one of the three.  However they are all switching to PS4 now, and besides being the best choice (Bare with me on that); I think there is another reason they have no problem switching sides:   Me and the other PS3 buyers are the only ones of a group of about 20 friends who have never switched sides or ever wanted to.  They see Playstation has always kept us happy.  No droughts, just great games and hardware...

We're not talking about the same market. You guys are male gamers of a certain age and you fit in the PS360 marketbase.

I'm talking about families, men, women, boys, girls. People who buy DS' and still buy 3DS'. They are out there and they are not necessarily interested in PS360 games.

Why do so many people not see the existence of that market, it's weird.

No we are not.  My parents have a wii that hasn't been turned on for years.  They use their PS3 multiple times a week forr Netflix, Singstar (Big exclusive people always forget), and Blue Ray.  My parents are the farthest thing from hardcore gamers you can imagine.  Once the hype wore off, they chose to use the console that isn't a one trick pony.

Also the "Families" I know of use tablets instead of a Wii.  So yeah the tablet market killing Nintendo is no joke...  My neice litterally just got the new Kindle Fire and stopped using her 3DS.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
