I'm not sure how the writer turned Peter Moore's comment into a bad thing for Wii. What he failed to mention is... EA now chooses to put more focus on Wii than PS3 and 360 together. And those are unique (or in other way, exclusive) games only for Wii.

Also, it is unclear where the following paragraph is referring to.

"The question is, will gamers run out of interest? The last two major first-party Wii games, Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City Folk, failed to generate the kind of excitement (and, in turn, sales) that Nintendo is accustomed to, a fact that analyst Ed Barton of Screen Digest believes is a big reason why the Wii is struggling. While older blockbusters like Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii are still selling well, Barton points out that the company needs new experiences to drive new sales."

It would be ok if it's describing Japan market. But as Mike pointed out, Animal Crossing is probably the only million seller in Japan that's described as a failure. If it's referring to Wii outside Japan, I find it amusing to see "Wii is struggling" since Wii still sells more than the other two consoles combined every week.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
