Right, but I'm going on a past article which is the closest relation market wise to what the Wii is than any article I've seen anywhere before. The Wii is called a Blue Ocean product, I'm not skeptic on it's title but I am also not very educated on what it implies, only the more superficial meanings are what I've seen apply.

To that end, a member of this site tracked a similar Blue Ocean product (Nintendo DS) and noted that the DS peaked in it's third year on the market. 2009 will be the Wii's third year as well, so the assumption is slightly educated.

Shatter records, sure... if it can shatter old records of other consoles why not shatter it's own.

Actually according to this:

The DS still hasn't peaked yet
