A good example of why Sony Consoles always succeed.

Except the Wii didn't only appeal to first time gamers; it was also a very attractive proposition to the traditional casual, the guy who played Guitar Hero on the PS2 with his mates. It was trendy, affordable, popular, the natural choice for the mainstream buyer.

Im not denying that at all, but you did not need a Wii to play Guitar hero and some many PS2, PS3 and 360 gamers were able to secure their own versions as well, despite the Wii. Regardless, the Wii was a force for motion games for sure. As I said before, I wish Sony was as passionate as Nintendo and Microsoft with their casual endeavors, because they are quite underrated and have done so much already that they have not been given credit for (of course...thats partially their fault). Hell...I didnt know a Eyetoy existed until my friend introducted me to it and a Kinectic motion game.

Oh yeah, Wii by no means had a monopoly on the casual consumer. I just meant that for a certain kind of buyer, the gamer who just buys what is trendy/popular and doesn't take gaming seriously like we do, PS2 was the natural choice in the 6th gen, and Wii was the natural choice last gen.
