The Wii sales were always a miracle for me, but at a time it has to come to an end. The hardware is outdated and ridicolous keeping in mind the price tag. It is the power of the Playstation 2 for more than twice the price.

Nintendo took the family games invented by Sony and marketed them right. All this Wii Sports Stuff etc was existing before in some form on the PS2 using the PS2's Webcam Playstation Eye.

I could never understand why Sony always (up until now) underestimates what they somehow created (Family Games). Friends of mine were playing FITNESS Games already several years ago with their PS2 and the Playstation Eyecam.

The biggest part of Wii buyers are casual gamers without any technical knowledge about the platform. They do not know about Full-HD etc. Of course there are also a lot of Fanboys from former Nintendo Consoles, but already the Gamecube was no match for the PS2 or XBOX.

The real gamers which have 20+ games and regulary are buying games are not the Wii Clients, but people owning "real" consoles like PS3 and XBOX360.

To create complex long motivation games, the Wii is not a serious platform because of the Hardware Limitations.

So having other Games than Wii Sports and Wii Fit up to the Top Sales slots would surprise me. Nintendo is lucky because they can already make money out of the Hardware. If not, things would not look that rosy....

But now Wii Sales may start to decline but I doubt that I Wii 2 would save it...
