Can wii do better sales in 2010 than 2009?

This isn't an analogy. It's a metaphor. And you are choking it to death.

There's no reason to automatically assume that the Wii is a hill, either.

And yes, it is a hill. A hill with a rocky outcropping. Those also exist.

Analogy falls under a metaphor, no?

I can assume anything I want.

I don't think rocks can make a gap as big as that.

No, analogies are more closely related to similes. What you're giving is a metaphor. Saying something like "The Wii's 2010 will be to its 2009 as the PS2's 2005 was to its 2004" is an analogy.

I didn't say you couldn't assume that, I just said there was no reason to, and it isn't useful in making a point.

You would happen to be wrong.
