Yeah, Bruce has been one of the most consistent critics of the Wii since its launch. He's unflappable.

I particularly love his explanation of why the Wii can't continue selling like it is: he says that it's selling so much that it can't possibly keep it up. "It just cannot go on," he says. Excellent analysis there, buddy. I hope I end up being an analyst like you.

Q: How will the Wii do in the future?
A: Its sales will slow way down.
Q: Why is that?
A: Because it's selling so well right now. It can't keep that up.
Q: That doesn't answer my question. Why is going to stop selling so well? Why can't it "keep it up?"
A: It just cannot.
Q: That still doesn't answer my question. Why can it not continue to sell well?
A: I already told. What are, an idiot? Are you stupid or something? It cannot continue to sell well. It just can't.

 Well he is right. The Wii cannot sustain this level of demand forever. 10 years down the line it is unlikely to sell anywhere near what it is selling today. This is true of every luxury item though. The 360 and PS3 cannot possibly continue selling as well as they are so it seems ridiculous to try and claim the Wii will be affected the most by this though.
