Side Note: Anyone who thinks the Wii isnt competing with the PS3 and 360 is in denial. If it werent for the Wii, the 360 and PS3 sales would be double what they currently are and the PS3 would have sold several more million in Japan. Casual people will not buy multiple consoles but they will buy 1 and without the Wii there they would have chosen one of the others. There arent that many grandma's who own a Wii despite all the talk of how the Wii expanded the userbase. Its not that big of a spread.

I don't believe that. There are a lot of people buying a Wii for themselves that haven't bought another game system in their life, I seriously doubt they would have bought a PS3 or 360 if the Wii didn't exist.

yes, but on the other hand, there are a lot of people who will generally buy one console a generation, and play a few games on that. I know three people who had a PS2 last generation and a Wii this generation. These people would have purchased a PS3 or 360 (eventually) had the Wii not come out.

Although there is a lot of people who would not have otherwise bought any console who purchased a Wii, don't discount the many people who have purchased a Wii instead of a 360/PS3. They exist

Basically, it's always the one that's losing that says they're not competing, to make their terrible sales look better. Nintendo said that when they were unsure about whether the Wii would succeed. Now Sony and MS are saying they're not competing, while what has Nintendo said? "We are not only competing with the PS3 and Xbox", a huge difference there.
