Nonstanding all of this, any slow down in Wii HW sales is troublesome as it is a well known fact that software sales follow hardware sales trends.
So any slow down in HW sales will result in a slow down in SW sales.
Sure the install base will help to compensate a little of that, but not much...
Look at Mk Wii or Wii Fit sales over the last 10 months and watch how their sales curve closely follow the Wii HW sales...
Less Wii HW sales is going to result in weaker legs for most Wii games...
Typically install base has a huge impact on first 4-5 week sales, legs however mostly depend on how well the hardware sells every week...
That is kind of a big issue for a console where software sales depend so heavilly on legs.......
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
