With those figures, it is pretty obvious that wii will not be the "PS2" of this gen. 70% marketshare seems impossible now.

I'm not so sure. The Wii has been *very* quiet for around a year now - ever since the release of MK. And its done well to build and hold its marketshare.

The other consoles have just finished throwing everything at the Wii - RE5, SF4, KZ, Yakuza, new Halo, ...

People have *very* short memories. Remember what the Wiimote + WiiSports did to the industry?

...guess what is coming out in 6 weeks: the next Wiimote (M+), and then the next WiiSports title...

 

Unless the HD consoles pull something significant and hidden out, I can see them having a *very* quiet next 3-5 months (until Xmas). I'm sure GT, FFXIII, GoW will do great at Xmas - but that is 9 months away.

...and already, some of the 360 titles I had penciled in for this Xmas - look like coming next Xmas.

A month ago, the 360 sold 215k (for the week), and the PS3 190k. This week they sold 160k & 130k - and this included Easter.

Wii sales have also dropped a bit (330k to 270k) - but IMO this is irrelevant until the next 'wave' hits (along with the marketing campaign). There should be a lot of Wii units in stock, so its going to take a while before we see more sellouts...
