Could the Wii be upgraded like N64 (expansion pack) and Genesis (cd + 32x)

I disagree about Sega.

Sega released those add-ons as a response to the fact that Nintendo was outselling them.

It's not like Sega was kicking Nintendo in the rear, and then released the add-ons, and then lost.

Sega had 52% market share at the end of 1993. Then they released the 32X and Nintedo released Donkey Kong Country and Sega's sales imploded.

At least that's how I have understood it. May Dissolitude strike me down if I'm wrong.

That 52% is misleading.

 

Sega released in  1989, the SNES was  in 1991, two years later. So in 1993 Sega had 4 years on the market, while SNES had 2, and Nintendo had already cut their share in half. Segas sales didn't implode at all, just the SNES was so much more successful.

It would be the equivalent of saying the xbox in early 2007 had much more marketshare than Nintendo, but since Nintendo released _____ and Xbox sales imploded and Wii took the lead.

 

Sega's sales did implode after the 32X. Before 32X, they could hold their own against the Super Nintendo. Ever since the Super Nintendo launched, it was at some points being outsold by the MegaDrive, and at some points outselling it Xbox 360 was always outsold by the Wii, not outselling it a single day except for the Halo 3 launch.

   After 32X and DKC the MegaDrive was always outsold by the Super Nintendo. And the Super Nintendo sold well even in the early PS1 days.
