I personally think it has but peaked in a way that doesn't mean a steady downfall but something more like PS2. Just stay high forever haha.

However, I'm probably wrong with this and I know I'll probably be wrong but for some odd reason I stand by it. Guess it's because if I'm wrong no big deal but if I'm right it is. I have always thought 2008 would be Wii's peak year but it probably wont' be. Not how fast the market has expanded that it only opens up more room. We'll just see. There is no telling how it'll go down but Wii should have another great year as it'll not have to worry about brand alone to keep it hyped as big games release.

 

 that was my theory.... but now we are seeing VERY positive statements from EA, Take2, SE, Capcom, Konoma, and other smaller studios.

When the good games come to the Wii in droves like they did the PS2, the Hardcore gamers will finally get on board in mass. At that point the wii will peak. Especially for Software.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
