Wow... just wow...

What, wow? That makes perfect sense, the Wii pulled in tons of people that normally weren't interested in console games and that have by now almost entirely lost their interest in console gaming, what would you call that if not an artificial market inflation?

What are you talking about? So if it´s not on a Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony console then they are not part of the gaming population? A LOT of the people playing now on their smartphones started on the Wii. A LOT!

Good thing I said CONSOLE GAMING and not all forms of gaming. People have been playing on their mobile phones for years so even without the Wii smartphone gaming would be just as big right now, that type of gaming just naturally grew with the number of smartphone owners it had nothing to do with the Wii.

The Wii just pulled a percentage of those people that now game on smartphones into the console market for a couple years, thus artificially inflating it.
