I honestly can't tell yet, but it looks likely to me. In the end it depends on how well the thing with attracting new gamers goes, and how long the lifespan is.
A lot of people seem to think the lifespan is going to be shorter than normal due to being technologically inferior to the competition, and people will move away from the vastly superior game selection to the better graphics of the other consoles after a year or two. After the PS2 winning over the Xbox and Gamecube, I don't see this happening.
I think it's at least equally possible that the philosophy behind the Wii causes graphics to lose some importance, and the Wii has a substantially longer lifespan than previous consoles. That seems to be what Nintendo is planning, and they've been on a roll the last few years.
The most likely case for the Wii not becoming the #1 best selling piece of hardware of all time is Nintendo getting greedy and releasing a new console too early that is not counted as a remake of the Wii. To me it would be a different console if the games for it didn't work on the original Wii, and I'm assuming most of you agree go with the same definition.
Am I supposed to type some kind of a brilliant recap here? I'm going back to bed, since I got up so early to check the Brawl site. =P
