Wii is now up YoY in every region. Significant?

Awesome for the big N. Even if this is the year that wii's YoY decreases I do not see it as a big deal.

The way I see it as long as it whacks the opposition every week Nintendo is happy.
This wii YoY decrease talk have been going on all around this site mainly from supporters of the other systems, yet I see the wii outselling them every week and widening the gap.

I think this matters most to Nintendo.

Wiis have been selling at a record pace and it will most likely slow at some point. That is the way things work.

Many believe the move away from the traditional gamepad that was introduced by the wii and taken up by the other two will eat into it's sales, this remains to be seen.

If anyone is honest with themselves they will admit that it is that unique controller that gave wii the edge rather than it's games. If wii had the same gamepad it would have gone the way of the gamecube - and not have that monster hardware mover wii fit.

I really think that this is the last year of wii's YoY increase and as a Nintendo fan I hope I am wrong....just outselling the other two would be good enough though.

Time, as always, will tell.
