So you think the  people that bought a Wii for bowling and Wii Fit are also buying a PS4 and potentially Morpheus?

There are casual gamers who bought it because its supposed to be the next big thing. Sony themselves said they are targeting the former Wii audience and want to capture that crowd, and it does appear to be working.

There is a big shift of PS4 owners who used to own a Wii. Not to mention the reasons people bought a PS4 were the focus of the advertising. Graphics, processing power, family wants it etc. It might not be as much as Nintendo nabbed with the Wii, but there are casual customers on board with PS4. Sony just needs to harness this base with the right game/peripheral. I'm betting its Morpheus.

And MS wanted us to believe we'd have a relationship with our TV.

Just no. You don't seem to understand the Wii casuals market very well if you think they've migrated, even in small doses, over to PS4.


? I even shown you nielson sales data that shows former Wii owners went PS4. I'm sure that it wasn't the elderly and the like, but there has been a shift. If Sony makes a smash hit with Morpheus I could see that base only growing. Lets say that Sony makes some version of Wii sports but featuring the morpheus helmet and 2 move controllers. Something like that could get sales.
