Well despite the nature of the thread, 2010 will more than likely be a better year for Wii... and all around if you ask me. First of all, Wii has a much better route for the second half of 2009. Monster Hunter 3 (JP), Wii Sports Resort, Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Red Steel 2, Dead Space Extraction, Rabbids Go Home, Shaun White Snowboarding: World Tour, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, etc etc. Of course, all of these titles won't sell a million copies and not all are AAA games but it's a good selection for the later half of the year. Try comparing that to the first half. With a better push towards the end Wii will probably have a good holiday season and carry into 2010 well.

Then of course when we hit 2010 Wii already has huge first party support that we know of along with some big 3rd party games to release. And of course I expect many other big things to happen including a price cut sometime around summer that year. But it won't just be big for Wii. Both PS3 and 360 should have a better year as well for similar reasons. Really it seems that 2009 is a slower year simply because how good 2008 was. But it won't stay that way because the later half of 2009 is filled with big titles. Can't suppress and industry for too long if it keeps having big things hit the market. So after 2009 ends well 2010 should take off. Almost in the same fashion that 2007 ended well and 2008 took off. And of course the developers and the Big 3 will work to ensure that.
