I stopped trying to predict the Wii's peak after April 2007. It could already have peaked, and because we have no way of measuring demand past the point where it sells out we would have no way of knowing it had happened.
To be honest, I don't think it has peaked yet, and I believe that of this generation's consoles (Wii, 360, PS3) the Wii will be the last to peak and eventually decline. It must happen sooner or later, of course, but there is simply no way to know when.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
