@Joe80, That is an interesting scenario, but the Wii's launch was geared towards the hardcore. Part of the reason that the Wii was able to gain traction with a wide market is because of getting the early adopters to immediately buy up the stock and get the word out. I don't believe that casual gamers are as active in grabbing up a console on launch day or during the longer launch period. It's the hardcore that currently grab up a console on launch or during the launch period.
