That's not smart at all. I would suggest you 1. look at the industry more and/or 2. Get an education in marketing at the very least.
I'm not going to get into detail on this one but just think of this...
Pepsi and Coke products: They are direct competitors right? Just like PS3 and 360? Pepsi and Coke are not in the soda industry. They are in the FOOD industry. Every other liquid and food product affects the sales of Coke and Pepsi products (which includes food).
If the demand of beer goes down, what happens to Pepsi and Coke? (It increases) Yet they market to completely different markets! but are still related and affect the sales of each other.

First, I have a bachelors in Consumer Science and a minor in Marketing from the best university within 500 miles, so why don't you shut the F___ up about my education and stop being a prick.
Second, don't treat me like a two year old. I don't literally mean that the Wii sales have ZERO affect on the 360. So you're stupid semantic s argument is worthless.
Third, I know about 10 people who bought a Wii thus far. Only two of them own ANY other video game systems. They appeal to different audiences. And the simple fact that the Wii does not do what the Xbox does, and the Xbox does not do what the Wii does shows that they are not direct substitutes. Nintendo and Xbox can dominate the market together because they offer completely different things, unlike PS3 and 360. They are direct competitors. The same kinds of people buy those two systems, and most consumers will NOT buy both. But consumers WILL buy the Wii and the 360.
Its not a difficult concept to grasp. Try to focus on the real points, and stop trying to pick out stupid stuff to argue with me about.
