That's the problem; you're looking at the number "right now" before Sony has even fought back yet. The PS3 is just now getting by it's "launch".
The Wii is a system that depends on it's pricetag and innovation. Without the pricetag, the Wii would never be as popular as it is, and unless developers can make software that takes advantage of that innovation...I don't see the Wii doing good for long.

I agree with you that developers need to take advantage of the wii remote (that is what your talking about when you say innovation, right?) for the system to reach its full potential. I also hope some developers realize that not every game needs to use the wii remote (some games are just better on a "normal" controller).
I really don't see the harm in looking at the numbers right now. No one can see into the future. What we can do is look at what is going on NOW and try to make predictions (hopefully educated ones) about what is going to happen. The wii and the ps3 launched in america at the same time pratically so someone could also say that the wii is just getting by its "launch" (well the ps3 is not by its launch... it still needs to hit europe).
I also agree with you that the wii is as popular as it is because of its pricetag. This isn't a bad thing btw.
I am not really sure what to make of your "before Sony has even fought back yet" comment...
