Yeah Wii is not getting near its 2008 performance. Not even with a pricecut, which BTW isn't going to happen anytime soon. Nintendo thought that with 2 - 3 games / year people would have enough reasons to buy a Wii, but it doesnt work like that.
This year started terribly wrong, with no new big releasese from Nintendo on the first half, with all momentum being lost to a point where 360 is apparently outselling the Wii 2:1 in the UK (which I doubt BTW).
2nd half is bound to be slower in 2009 than in 2008, due to interest already beginning to fade away in the West and overall poor sales in Japan. We might see Nintendo lower the yearly projections by a good amount, 26 million is impossible.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
