Your analysis discards the fact that if you had done the same one one year ago the Wii would have been heavilly ahead of the PS2. The Wii is still only doing good in those numbers because of a really good first year... Hardware sales from week 50 to week 102 ( so both get a holyday season and we can't claim it affected the numbers) PS2 : 4.1 million units Wii : 3.1 million units.
As for people claiming next year has MH3. This year had SSBB and Mario Kart. Not sure MH3 is actually bigger than those...

A slight correction:
For Wii, I have 3789K vs 6986K, which is 3.2M, not 3.1M. Not important though.
I agree with you though - the Wii isn't going to equal the Ps2 in HW. That would be a shock for me.
For that period, SW also shows that Ps2 did better.
Ps2 - 16.0M
Wii - 14.1M
But the Wii is almost equalling the Ps2, despite having a far, far worse Japan line-up, means that saying it is failing in SW is stupid.
One thing though, you are only comparing the Wii's line-up, which is odd. You have to take into account the Ps2's too.
For the record, Japan Ps2 sales by sales equal to 50-102 (so next year is 102-154, and then 154-206)
2001-2002: 4.1M
2002-2003: 3.9M
2003-2004: 3.3M
2004-2005: 3.1M
2005-2006: 2M
2006-2007: 1.5M
2007-2008 0.8M
So you are talking about the Ps2's peak year, whereas the Wii may peak later on.
