Wii will never pass PS2 sales nor gain over 50% market share.

When do you expect the Wii to begin tracking below the PS2?

 

I meant lifetime sales.  You know that.  I think it sales will start to decline yearly and it won't have the lifespan the PS2 has.

See I'm thinking that the Wii might start to drop like a rock at some point simply because it's essentially running Xbox graphics and is the only system to not be in HD.  (In before 'Graphics don't matter' etc).  The PS2 while extremely popular is now limping to the finish line and when it was released it had great technology in it.  It's very possible that the Wii will age just like fine wine, though I think it's also possible that it ages like milk left on the counter.   

I guess time will tell.  The numbers certainly favor the Wii right now but I just feel that the Wii will get old faster than previous consoles have.   And if Nintendo tries to market or build off the success of the Wii with a Wii HD or something to that effect.  They will cut the sales of the Wii off at it's legs essentially.
