I've seen an increased interest in gaming amongst my circle. People who aren't really gamers getting back in to gaming. I think the Wii has a lot to do with increasing the popularity and image of gaming_in_general. I think everyone will benefit from this. It's made gaming more socially acceptable where it used to be the geek's domain.
Of course the Wii will always sell more. It appeals to more people. I still think 2008 will be a good year for the PS3. I've seen casual gamers get sucked into more hardcore games like COD4. The online aspect seems to be really contagious.
My observations obviously can't be applied to everyone but I do think that these are not isolated cases. So yes. I think there will be a quite a few Wii owners getting a PS3. Especially with GTA on the horizon!
