According to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's recently-appointed CEO and President, Andrew House, Wii owners will upgrade to the PS3.
"If you look back at previous lifecycles, like PS2 versus N64 [sic], we have lots of data that suggests that lots of people bought into N64 as their entry level gaming device, and were happy to upgrade to a more powerful machine later in the life cycle when the price point was right for them. I think we’re going to see this later on PS3", House told Edge.
Of course, Microsoft probably expects that Wii owners will upgrade to the Xbox 360, though Sony will soon have the advantage of a familiar PS3 wand peripheral. Time will tell...
