Some people just don't get it. The DS is still selling massively despite being underpowered and competitors stepping up their efforts to take out the DS. How well has the PSP worked to kill the DS? How much of the DS's audience has the Apple actually stolen?

The Wii is underpowered, but it has already been let out of the box. Natal and Arc simply won't be able to compete with the Wii's software dominance. People aren't going to upgrade to Arc or Natal for the same kinds of casual experiences that are already available on the Wii. X-box, especially, doesn't have the decades long backlog of software titles that they can draw from that Nintendo does.

Casual gamers have already flocked to the Wii. Natal and Wand might be able to sell a few units via their hardcore exclusives, but they will never be able to capture Wii's momentum especially mid-generation. People aren't going to buy an Arc just so they can play a PS3 version of EA Active or Just Dance.

Wii just had a pricecut in November. They are doing just fine. They just need more popular software releases to carry their momentum forward. Arc and Natal don't have an answer for SMG2, the new Zelda, Wii Fit, and New Super Marios Bros.
