Do you guys believe as I do that the 35 million+ DS owners are more likely to buy a Wii than the 15 million + psp owners are to buy a PS3?

If so, then what would stop the Wii from catching fire like the DS has? Its been roughly more than 2 years and 35 million sales is alot. Not to mention the 80 million of the GBA.  Alot of people like to say since the PS2 sold so much then the PS3 will sell as much. Alot of people also say the Wii resembles in games and other stuff the PS2. So why wouldn't people opt for the Wii which has alot in common with the PS2 (I know a fanboy will make a graphics joke about that) and since when has the console with the best hardware outsold the rest? The PS2 wasn't the best graphics or hardware wise. The dreamcast was ahead of its time in certain areas and look where that ended up! The 3DO couldn't even begin to compete with the SNES and Genesis. The original Gameboy continued to outsell the Game Gear and other handhelds forever though it appeared outdated to many. That being said, if the PS3 is the best hardware wise is this good company to keep? The dreamcast, 3DO, and Game Gear?

What would you non-nintendo people (who don't have souls since nintendo gave gaming its SOUL) do or think if the Wii caught fire as did the DS? How would you cope with that? People are saying the same things about the Wii they did about the DS and look where that got them.

Dunno. But I can turn your question inside-out.

I have a Wii, but not planning on buying a DS. I want one but I rarely use(d) my GBA, so I dont see a point in it.

I think thats a good call why the Wii is considered 'Hot property' at the moment.

I think its possible the Wii will see some sort of huge sales increase this year or next due to the DS support.

I have a Wii and had the DS for like 2 days but the ultra crappy graphics on the DS turned me off, so I bought a PSP instead and because I own a PSP I was drawn to buy a PS3 so I can one day play my PS3 games via my PSP while taking a bath.

Cause it was cheap and I like Zelda and the funky controller sounded cool. Oh and sometimes I like to relax and just play some childish games and Nintendo always has the most kiddy games.

I have both and the ds only effected my wii purchase in the fact that i am not a graphics whore after owning a ds from launch.  But with 35 million ds units there are bound to be a good chunk who will get the wii because of the ds.

LOL I'm just being an a$$. Seriously though I have a Wii and a PS3 and PSP. I don't get too caught up with being too loyal to any system, I would have liked the DS but the graphics were just too much to bear. Not that Wii is any better, but at least I can stand the graphics on that.

I think this applies to the Japanese for sure.  Their hope in Nintendo has been greatly rekindled with the DS, so I think they are definitely more likely to buy a Wii now since it has a similar appeal.

I think most DS owners will buy a Wii.  However, at the same time, i know that many PS2 owners haven't moved on to next-gen gaming yet, and will likely also pick up a PS3.

I have a PSP and am planning on getting a Wii. I will never get a DS though. I had a GBA that I never played, and DS is just too similar.
