You are forgetting the growth in the market that will really affect numbers in the next 2 years.
China of course, but also India's middle class and Sth America too. Even traditional markets have all gone Wii crazy, but in some cases only recently, they will gross tons of cash in tp the future.
Then also remember Nintendo unlike any other time in history have the family friendly kids / parent / casual market all wrapped up.
Lastly, and this is definetly a first from my perspective, everybody that has another console still wants to get a Wii.Theres no competition for what niche Ninty is offering.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
