As weeks go by and the gap increases YoY by 120k - 150k each week things will get tougher and tougher. The fact that they are not reacting at all is worrying. Each week that goes by with a 150k difference, means that another week in the future will have to be 150k bigger. And man, weekly sales last year were gigantic, so I honestly don't see how the Wii will be able to sell much more than it did weekly last year.
I don't think it's salvageable anymore. They will just have to come out and lower their projections, unless they have a gen defining secret awaiting to be uncovered and implemented right away in the next couple of weeks. You know that as long as sales YoY gap keeps on increasing, it will be much more difficult for them to make up for. Next week it will be 4 million down FY over FY.
