Wii console sales must eventually end; all console sales do. The real question is when that will happen. The people who proclaimed the Wii a fad took "eventually" to mean "soon," and that hasn't proven to be the case.
As it stands, the Wii is tracking a curve not unlike the PS2's, though a week of Wii sales beats the corresponding week from the PS2's life about 80% of the time. My guess is that this will probably continue throughout the Wii's lifetime.
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.
