The continued sucess can be atributed to the constant flow of new titles. I hope than can continue that for years to come.
I think it is too early to really see a trend. I feel that a n^2 curve would be more appropriate, more console owners plus more games available, but you have to remember that seasonal trends mess with the graph when you only have a few points.
I think the Jan and April totals were skewed up by holiday Wii point cards, Wii points purchased at launch, and lack of diversity among Wii titles. The 2008 trend will be more telling. I had originally expected sales as high as DarkNight_DS had but only time will tell.
The way look as it, estimate 1/3 of Wii owners online, they are averaging 2 games a piece. I would be really interested to see what percentage of owners have logged on online, have looked at the store, and what percentage regularly go online on their Wii.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
