No, the Wii has a much broader demographic than PS3 and 360, the Nintendo hardcore alone wouldn't have made it the best selling system, if that were the case then the N64 and Gamecube obviously would have sold better. With the Wii there is literally something for everybody and since the Wii is marketed as the "family" console theres a good deal of party games to appease that market. And guess what? They're selling like hot cakes.

Wii is the choice console for younger gamers and their parents due to it's greater quanitity of family friendly games. I have even seen some old retirement homes where they have a Wii because Wii Sports is such a hit with the old folks.

The Wii is creating a new interest in video games among a lot of people that were never interested in video games before. And yeah, that's a good thing.
