 Ummmm... please tell me that you "think" the wii will have a life span of 9 years.    I just don't think it will go on much after 2010, maybe 2011 before Nintendo comes out with a new console.   If it does have a life span of that long, I just don't think that they will have the sales numbers to justify shipping that many consoles as the tastes of consumers will change with time that the more powerful systems can offer consumers as most consumers will be in the HDTV ownership category and wanting a HD capable system.   Just my opinion and not trying to knock the hard work you put into this. 

 The good thing is, that we can see exactly what happens as the time passes. :)
