Man, some people are just sensitive. Though it seems to me that diehard Wii fans are the worst, in my experience on IGN and here, anyway. Always paranoid about websites being anti-Wii and seeing Wii hate in things where it isn't present.

Wii is down YOY. This means that it has lost momentum. And the fact is YOY numbers are what is always used to measure a products momentum. But it's been out for 3 years and is this is to be expected. It's still selling well, though, so don't sweat it. This guy was only doing his job in promoting his company, and was not bashing the Wii. If he was he could have said something like, "The PS Wand will utterly crush that peice of garbage Wii-Wii!" But he didn't.

It also frustrates me to see these blind predictions about how the Wii is going to keep its momentum for years to come. Listen, the Wii pulled an amazing feat in taking the market by storm and rising to number 1, even with 360's year head start. But its momentum isn't going to last for forever, and most likely next year will be no different. Unless there is another price drop, the Wii will probably be slightly down YOY again, while PS3 stays flat or rises. Again don't sweat it. It will still lead the market and come out first when this gen is over.
