If Sony made the Wii and Nintendo made a PS3. How would last gen have played out?

My best guestimate is probably 1/4 or maybe even 1/3 Wii owners had a second console. I'm thinking it was split evenly between X360 and PS3. I think there are very few that had both X360 and PS3. Possibly 1-2% of all total gamers? Even less that had all 3.

This is all completely uninformed guessses. I have only anecdotal evidence. Almost all of my friends had two consoles, most were X360 and the Wii. A couple of them just had Wiis though.

In the UK, I don't know anybody who continually played their HD console who didn't get the other HD console. They either stopped playing or bought the other one as well. Especially when the Wii was more expensive than 360.

Here, I think 1/4-1/2 of 360 owners went on to buy a PS3 or vice versa. Also the first time I've seen multiples of the same console (360s) in the same home, never known that.

Interesting stuff. I don't think ive ever seen multiple 360s in non-large family households. If a family has like 3-4 kids then yeah that can make sense.

It might be that maybe its not 1-2% but more like 33-50% gamers had both PS3 and X360. I'd love to know the true figure.
