No it won't.
It clearly doesn't have competition in the traditional sense. The people giving the Wii its huge sells want the Wii and nothing else.
Pam from the old people's home isn't choosing between a Wii with Wii Sports or a 360 with Gears of War 2. That's just ridiculous. It's a mainstream product. It's the 'in-thing' just like Ipods are, just like mini scooters and space hoppers were. It's fashionable to own a Wii. When consumer tastes change and move onto something else, and they inevitably will, then demand will fall. You can't expect this to last, it's no longer a question of what the hardcore want. Gaming is now part of the fad economy just like every other product in the mainstream.
