And Nintendo is forecasting a 30% or so profit drop. If they are having problems, how well you think the companies focusing on the Wii will do this year compared to last year ?

Nintendo is forecasting a drop due to a lack of first party titles this year, the third parties that are on Wii put out mostly really bad titles, regardless of year, so its a totally different issue for why they are losing, in fact this year they had the chance to grab a bunch of profit, with Nitnendo not brining its game, a third party could have stepped up and stole the show, but none did, now Nintendo is back with NSMB Wii, which is selling great and pushing hardware
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
