no because their appeal is subjective
Uhhhhhh... what does that mean? The appeal of every game is subjective.
It means you cannot make assupmptions based on popular casual franchises.
So... the fact that franchises were popular on the PS2 became popular on the Wii in no way suggests an overlap of fans? Seems pretty sound logic to me. I'm not sure what you expect, a letter from each person who bought Guitar hero world tour?
Addressed above

Ummmm... how does that exactly suggest that the 50 million people were non-gamers? You've shown that they're 50 million non-nintendo gamers, but that says nothing about their previous gaming habbits. So here, have your jpg back.
You're right it doesn't. All it tells us that it was an increase in Nintendo's Marketshare. But in hindsight, it really doesn't matter what you or I call them.
Wait let me try something...

Applying the same logic to the XBox 360 as you did to the Wii (that is that we compare a system's current gen to last gen and every new owner is a non gamer). Then you get that the XBox 360 had 60 million non-gamers. Of course, that doesn't work, but it doesn't work with the Wii either.
that can't count by the rules you set up.
We can only use information we have, this is the point of being objective.
The data is objective. Your conclusion is subjective. The data does not state that 50 million people were non-gamers. The data states 50 million people did not previously own a Nintendo console. Big difference.
I can agree to this. However, its simply a change of terms not a change of meaning. The increase in marketshare can be attritbuted to a change in the adressal of markets

Yeah... ya did. Nongamer-outlier. Outlier- someone not included in your data set. You identified anyone out of the 30-50 million N64 cube range as an non-gamer, and excluded them from the market. Hence, outlier.
Technically, you consider Non-Gamer as outlier, I never mentioned it.
As for the information regarding the demographics of the Wii's audience.
Right back at ya slick.
