I don't think they completely understood it, which is why they lost them within 3-4 years and couldn't recapture them with the Wii U.
... which is why Sony might be concerned about understanding their new base now too.
Fundamental difference here IMO. The "never owned a console before" audience of the Wii was far more unstable than the "willing to jump ship" audience PS4 seems to have snatched from Xbox 360, plus all the 'all the console" and standard Sony purchasers.
I'm not too surprised myself. For third parties it's easily the most capable machine, and there's always enough third parties + scraps from platform first parties to make A console worth it for a lot of people, and Sony happens to have pretty solid first party too.
