A price drop would however indicate falling sales and popularity which imo would call into question the longevity of the wii

You question the longevity of the Wii based on the fact that by year 3-4 it might get a price cut?   No console in history has ever gone this logn without warranting a price cut yet you question the longevity of the Wii?   

I cannot believe you are looking at this so completely backwards.   The volume of time before a price cut is a good measure of longevity.   Therefore the Wii is destined to have a very extensive longevity.

Viper, you forgot the most crucial mistake in his post (bolded). I would think that by any way imaginable, falling sales would indicate a pricedrop, and not the other way around. Especially since we actually have the weekly sales on this site, together with YoY and WoW analysis.
