Not commenting on this article specifically, but I really have to wonder who pays these "analysts" and why. Most of the time, it seems they pull analysis out of their ass, sometimes with seemingly little basis in reality.

Did any analyst predict the Wii would "win" back in 2006? If so, he'd actually be worth his pay. All the analysts that have consistently predicted the imminent death of the Wii since 2006 are not. Nor would those analysts that from 1996-now have been constantly predicting the imminent death of Apple (though that seems to have mostly stopped.)

Seriously though, I'd love to see a single market analyst that predicted the rise of the Wii. About the only people I think that did were Nintendo fanboys, and most of them probably didn't either (I know I didn't see it coming).
