Obviously tons out there think the Wii will capture 50% market, meaning Sony and Microsoft will combine to total the sales of the Wii- that's asking a lot! I think it will do it, but I REALLY don't think it will finish at 50%, because Sony likes to keep thier systems alive WAY longer than Nintendo does. Microsoft seems to have really been slugging in sales, and we'll see what happens now that they have the cheapest system out there!

I don't think its Sony or Nintendo who decide how long a console lives, but the decision of the consumers. Also just so you know Nintendo was selling snes' well into the 5th generation, and I think the same thing could be said for the NES as well. 50% seems like an easy goal for the Wii imo.
