The proof of this is in the fact that OOTP successfully drew quite a few historical gamers away from Strat-O-Matic, APBA, Diamond Mind and other replay sims. I was one of those gamers, and there have been many people on the forums over the years who came from these other products.
Of course, many of us aren't strict replayers. For most people who use baseball sims, it's more about the "what if" factor, but there is a segment of the audience that does strict replays with historical lineups, transactions, etc. And quite a few of those folks became OOTP converts.
