I'm going with no by a lot. Nintendo already proved that they could sell a lot of Wii systems in a single year in Japan, but then let the support fall to the wayside. With NSMBWii, and a few key games they can easily swing the momentum back in their favor.

The PS3 has done it's best so far (in Japan) and is currently riding a high off a price cut, new model, and FFXIII. So, while sales could go up, I believe Nintendo has the larger potential.

Obviously it could go either way, but only if Nintendo continues to drop the ball.

EDIT:

ok, I put together this table, to help show how Nintendo first off dropped the ball, and second off seems to be on a recovery path (if they do things right). If you look at the yearly totals, 09 for PS3 was a nice increase, but still lower than the Wii. The Wii has dropped since 07 with a weak late 08 and early 09 lineup. But if you look at the monthly totals you'll see A nice increase YoY for Wii (and PS3). If you look at November sales, the Wii was behind PS3 in 09. So, while close, I think Nintendo can gain back to the 2.8m level and possibly higher, while the PS3 I sort of expect to match 09 levels. Of course, the PS3 could beat 2m units next year, but 2.8m for the PS3 just seems like a rather large stretch.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
