We don't know that. That's the thing. With Nintendo's blue ocean strategy, we don't really know if it's primarily the ps2 userbase buying Wiis or if it's traditionaly non-gamers that are buying Wiis (and it's probably a bit of both).
From my personal experience, most of the ps2 owners I know either went with a ps3 or a 360, with a few getting one of the above with a Wii.
Most Wii owners I know are either avid Nintenod fans (like myself and my brother-in-law), hardcore gamers with lot's of cash (like my brother-in-law's dad, who owns all consoles and handhelds), or else are brand new to gaming, like my friend's uncle who got one for Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Hell, even my sister wants one now, and she hasn't played games since the NES era (though the VC is playing it's part in that).
You have to figure, a lot of the ps2's userbase were teenage guys who just liked to play some GTA or whatever after football practice, and these people generally look down on the Wii for some stupid reason or another. The "casuals" (if you want to call them that) of today =/= the casuals of last gen, and there are plenty of last gen casuals getting ps3s and 360s.
