[QUOTE="Erebyssial"][QUOTE="fuzzysquash"]I am interested in gathering some statistics on Wii owners.
How many Wii owners are planning on just sticking with the Wii this gen?
How many of you are planning to buy a second or third console?
Please check the category in which you fall above.
This informal study may shed some light on whether the Wii stands in direct competition with the higher horse-power consoles or whether it is more of a complimentary product with the PS3 and the 360.

I don't think a few people on a gaming forum are going to give accurate results.
But anyway yeah, I'm undecided if I should repurchase a 360. I sold mine a while ago and ever since all my money on gaming has been spent on Wii games.
I'm aware that this isn't a sufficient sample size.
But it should give us some evidence....better than having no data at all.
The thing is that allows the Wii to sell so well is hype and pricepoint. Put a 360, Wii, and PS3 side by side released at the same time at thier original price points, you'd see exactely what you see now. Parents look at price first, hype second, actual performance third. Blu-Ray/HD-dvd are examples of this. While they are both better then standard dvd players people aren't willing to shell out money for a new next gen player when the price points were at 300+ starting and you could buy a regular dvd player at the gas station for 50 bucks.
