Mifely, You said a "colossal" number of Wii owners would have at least 1 other console. You're the one making the wacky claims. You're the one who needs to prove it. We don't believe you.

 

Actually, to quote myself, I said it was "possible that a colossal number of households" owned both. I don't need to "prove" anything about that statement of possiblity. In any case, let me put down some crazy other possiblities for the readers of this post to ponder:

* Many gamers who put the $ down to purchase a 360 or PS3 can probably afford a Wii as well.

* Many gamers who own a 360 or PS3 probably enjoy Nintendo titles, like SMG and Zelda, just to start.

* To suppose that most Wiis owners do not own a 360 (in America) is also to suppose that (in America) most 360 owners do not own a Wii, since the number of 360s still exceeds the number of Wiis (in America). 

* I think its a pretty big assumption to make, assuming that a gamer who enjoys his 360/PS3 doesn't like Mario, and cannot afford a Wii or hasn't been able to get one by now.

 

I think presuming that "most households only own one console" is a pretty big leap.  I'd like to see, at the least, some good reasoning for that -- I haven't yet!

Nintendo has recently stated that 97% of the voters on the Wii voting channel are male -- that's pretty interesting, considering that the Wii isn't appealing to 360/PS3 owners, by your assumptions.  Lots of males comprising the casual audience the Wii embraces, but shunning the HD consoles?  They want a Wii but not a 360/PS3, do you suppose?

I smell fanboy science in the assumption that a significant number of Wii owners (not necessarily a majority, but I think its likely) do not also own a 360/PS3.

I smell that you are using fanboy science, care to provide a link to that statement?

It´s common knowledge that before this gen most console owners bought only one console and now suddenly this has changed?
