Will industry pros in the future refer to the PS2 as both a 6 & 7 gen sys?

Well, giving PS3 and WIi are almost completely focusing on different demographic of audience and their vastly different price-range.

It's really no different when it comes to comparing a Toyota and a BMW. Saying how Toyota is PWNING BMW would only get people saying.. "hmmm, so what?"

both same product, but focusing on very different people.

I think it's a bit incorrect to say the Wii and PS3 are competing for different audiences. I'd say it's more accurate that the Wii goes after a larger audience. The Wii does go beyond the PS3's demographic and capture casuals that the PS3 isn't targeted towards but it also goes for the core gamers that the PS3 does go after. How else can you explain how a title such as Monster Hunter 3 would go from being a PS3 exclusive to a Wii exclusive? Also all the rumors/talk about KH and people still aren't sure which system it will end up on.

There are definitely titles on the Wii that wouldn't fit with the PS3 userbase (although that may change if LBP helps get more casuals to play the PS3 like some believe) but the Wii userbase is so diverse that i'd say any title on the PS3 could have fans on the Wii.

 I would've agreed with you but I feel now that Nintendo has forsaken most of their hardcore users, not that they really had a lot of hardcore gamers to begain with (Nintendo has always targeted less of 16-32 age group that PS360 have).

 And I don't need to really explain why Capcom chose MH games for Wii? Capcom has always played by their own rules, like giving GC their best game as "exclusive" (RE4) only to take it away in a few months... I rather not try to read too much into the thinking of Capcom.

 To me.. Wii is a casual console with mininal hardcore elements, While PS3 is a hardcore console with mininal casual elements. 

 

THey are both consoles (cars), but they are catering to very different crowds. 

Wow, wishful thinking, but no...

Sry but MH3 won't be coming to PS3. You will have to own a Wii to play it.

It would be more logical to think that RE5 will be coming to Wii.
