I'll just end it with this : If the Wii tried to use the Home style graphics and interface with a regular gamepad, the wii would practically be dying already. I'd bet money on this statement. Wii sports would not be a system seller anywhere near what it is now.
Be aware this works both ways. I believe Home is accurrate for PS3 oriented gamers and talking about things like "And Sony's Home definitely doesn't appeal to crowds of people like the Mii system does." is a bit exaggerate. It's like The Sims - but this is YOU in the game. You can date, play and so. Possibilities are impressive - why it's so damn difficult for Nintendo fanboys to admit it.
EDIT:
BTW I don't believe there is a need to attract non-gamers. Sony has massive base of users and they know what the audience needs. Home is one of the answers. PS3 follows the lagacy of PS2. Same style but better - games will arrive. Gamers will follow.
This large userbase is based on the casual gamers. you can´t say they don´t need casual gamers when casual gamers "sold" the PS2 the last two years!
Look at the 360: It is not doing bad but it is just aiming for the hardcore crowd. Result: Mediocre sales, even though a hell lot of hardcore gamers already own a 360.
