Like the PS2 before it the Wii will never lose popularity until the next generation (specifically a Wii 2 or Wii2-like console) begins.
It's not the 'core' gamers that are keeping Wii going, it's everyone else. And since everyone else really doesn't care about 'core' gaming (or else there would be no such term as 'core' it'd be universal to all people) there's no limit to Wii sales. Avg Person is not going to 'wake up' in June 09 and say 'Oh damn, I coulda had a PS3'. No, Avg Person will be happy with a Wii. And until there's one in every household or something else that appeals to Dick and Jane even more than a Wii comes about (Apple?) there will be no loss of interest.
