Finally, after E3 most important announcements by Ninty, Sony and MS, we have a lot more elements to define  MS and Sony's counter-attacks. But we still miss some important things: official MS Kinect pricing, actual launch games line-up for both, as something could still be added, and most important of all, users reaction and actual sales both in the short and longer term.

BTW in this thread we talked about a lot more things, but about the thread's topic, WiiHD WASN'T announced, now what remains to see is whether Wii's share will shrink or not. But should it do it, would it be due to the lack of WiiHD? Or something else? And how will we be able to tell? I guess we'll have to ask Pachter again, we lack the necessary wisdom.

Well, I know all the Black Wii at my local Wall mart are sold out. Nintendo did well at this E3, and even if they slow down a bit i dont forcast a huge decrease in sells.

 

Its natural that a system fades after some time.  Yes the Wii is definitly passed it peak.

 

The next Wii will likly be The Wii 3D says Iwata

For reasons I don't know the biggest chains of electronics and appliances stores here delayed two weeks the application of the official drop announced by Nintendo for Wii plus WM Plus (*) bundles, smaller chains applied it immediately, but they haven't enough supplies to replace the bigs, so I expect to see better Wii sales with a slight delay (as people knew about the official drop, it was heavily advertised) compared to other countries.

About 3D, until tech evolves, Wii too will have to use glasses for 3D on TVs, parallax barrier screens don't allow to enjoy 3D effect wrom whatever position as needed on family TVs, they are good for single user applications (or dual user on cars, with different 2D images for driver and passenger, but no 3D, in that case).
