| Sqrl said: Interesting, anyone happen to know the PS2 user base in the US according to NPD? Using NPD numbers is best since this is NPD polling. |
Yay! If I wasn't on my Wii browser I would bring up some past posts of mine where I guessed a minimum of 60% of Wii owners will own (or have owned) a PS2.

This is interesting. Does anybody knoe hou this data was collected by NPD?

I get almost the same data
Taking NPD's figures:
41,120,000
+
January 264K
February 281K
March 216K
April 124K
May 133K
June 189K
July 156K
= ~42,483,000
~71.5% of 360 owners also own a PS2.
~69.0% of Wii owners also own a PS2.
~83,3% of PS3 owners also own a PS2.
Now it would be interesting to know what percentage of GameCube owners also own a Wii and what percentage of XBox owners also own a 360. Or IMO better even what percentage of all past owners (considering for instance the Wii is backwards compatible with the GameCube).
~3.60% less likely to buy a Wii than the average consumer
~2.64% less likely to buy a 360 than the average consumer
~13.60% more likely to buy a PS3 than the average consumer
This I don't agree with, those PS2 owners who also owned a GameCube or XBox next to a PS2 have likely already upgraded towards a 360 or Wii due to reasons I mentioned earlier and are IMO far more likely to do so than those who didn't own a GameCube or XBox in the past next to a PS2.

Your February number is the PS3 number. PS2 for February was ~352k. Source
As for the GC and Xbox data I agree it would be nice but its not required. The GC and Xbox ownership is a characteristic of the PS2 users at large, knowing the GC and Xbox data would allow us to give a breakdown to see how much it effected it but the overal less/more likely numbers would remain the same. If you are willing to accept the validity of the NPD poll then the numbers are a natural conclusion.
Where did you get this data Bod? Cause I wouldn't be surprised if NPD gathered this data a number of months ago which means you should use the install base at that time.
