And all of you seem to ignorant to see the market expension happening right before your eyes. Nintendo is in the blue ocean of soccer mons, if they can mainting their interest and keep the hype who knows how far sales could go. That basicly leaves Sony and MS fighing for a potential give or take 180 million market, and things are not looking good for the 360 these days. Well they havent in a long time.

When you read my previous post you'll see that at least I've backed my opinions with facts.
Someone that seriously states that all current 24 million Wii owners are soccer moms is absolutely hilarious.
Soccer moms don't buy Resident Evil, they don't buy Zelda and they don't buy Brawl.
Last gen the total market was about 170 million (120 PS2, 20 Xbox, 20 GC and 10 DC). By far the majority of this 170 million were casual gamers. If you really think 360 and PS3 will share 180 miilion consoles you're going to be very dissapointed.
Whether there will be market expansion remains to be seen, but if so it will be caused by casual gamers that will in majority go to Wii (Casual players are btw very diverse. Some like Mario, Brawl, Madden, GTA, WiiFit, licenced, etc). This is your general PS2 audience. WiiSports and WiiFit will cause a lot of PS2 owners to go Wii.
You won't believe me but it's a fact that most consoles are in family homes, with the main gamers being the kids between 8 and 16. Nothing changes from previous gen, except that mom and dad will play a little more often and will buy a game or two for themselves.
