The reason that the shortages didn't help Nintendo's competitors in the past was because the non gamers that were purchasing the Wii and made up the majority of people that bought games like Wii Fit and Wii Sports really didn't know what they were buying. At most they probably knew it was a new game console and not being people whom had spent much time really researching the market they didn't know or care about one console's capabilities from another. They probably assumed that all three systems had the same capabilities as they were all game machines to them. However as they become smarter about games and develop a more discerning palate for them or as more people finally have a chance to see the Wii's capabilities for themselves rather than just having their interest in the Wii stoked by word of mouth, fewer people will be willing to buy the Wii. As better games become available for the PS3, for example, you will see fewer people buying the Wii.

The Wii is certainly going to have a much more difficult time reaching 50 million consoles sold than it did reaching the 30 million consoles sold point. Of course another reason is that the Wii just doesn't have that strong of an upcoming game library.

1) Oh, so Nintendo tricked everyone into buying the Wii! I could have sworn that people were buying it because... you know, they wanted to buy it. But hey, if you want to continue living in denial, be my guest.

2) If you're going to make an account to troll, at least do some bare minimum of research first. Nintendo expects to sell 51m Wiis by the end of March 2009: that's almost 20m Wiis in the next six months. And they just UPPED that forecast, not downgraded it. The only way your prediction will come true is if there is a massive collapse in Wii sales this holiday season, which would be a lot more believable if folks like you hadn't been predicting it nonstop for the last 20 months.

Honestly, if you're going to comment on a sales website, at least take the time to READ THE COMPANY FINANCIALS. You can throw out garbage on Internet cesspools like gamefaqs and Gamespot and get away with it. Not here.
