The article made no sense until I read this. The Wii seems to have already peaked in Japan, and sales have been declining. Of course, the Wii also has a bigger percentage of marketshare in Japan than it does elsewhere. I think a lot of that has to do with supply; Nintendo has been meeting demand better in Japan than elsewhere. If Nintendo had consistently met demand in the US, I think the Wii would have already peaked here. It would have sold countless millions more consoles, but it would have peaked. As it is, I expect the Wii to peak during holiday 2009 instead.
