I'm not sure that I agree with you there BB. Sure, they are drawing from the same pool of humans, but that's like saying HDTVs are competing with the same pool of humans as regular TVs.

There are a LOT of people out there who don't own HDTVs, don't care to ever own HDTVs and never will. Likewise, there are people who don't own 360/PS3, don't care to ever own them and never will. But they do own a Wii.

And likewise, I don't know many gamers who say they bought the Wii instead of the 360/PS3. I know a ton who bought a 360 instead ofa PS3 or visa versa. I'm sure there are people out there who chose a Wii over the 360/PS3, but I don't think they are a strong majority of public opinion.
