For all intents and purposes, the Wii already has half the current generation console sales.
While everyone on VGC is focusing on tenths of marketshare percentage points, it really doesn't make a difference even if it's 49% or 50%; we're not going to see a sudden huge shift in sales at this point in the generation.
It's too late to see similar dominance of the console market as was the case with the PS2, Xbox and GC.
But, we'll see what a $150 Wii can do when the time comes.
Nintendo still has (and will always have) the advantage in being able to produce consoles at the lowest price point due to low spec hardware and lower overall manufacturing costs while still retaining profit on each unit sold.
