someone releasing their console early to stay competitive isn't industry impact, it's just business

Of course it's business, but you made it out like Sony and MS were running scared when they were the ones that rushed in first
The Wii did bring in some audiences but casual gamers existed long before on PC and I know a lot of casual gamers that owned a DS, Gamecube, N64, PS1, PS2 etc.
I'd say PSP was for hardcore gamers, same with Xbox.
