I love how everyone is going bonkers over Wii sales. Did you guys forget that Xbox 360 JUST came out with a console redesign? In fact, Wii is the only console WITHOUT a redesign this gen, and it is still holding its own, and beating the PS3. Plus I believe it is still outpacing the PS2.
Once the dust settles, Wii will be in the lead again every week. Sony and MS are sort of "cheating" by releasing the same console twice. Nintendo just needs to weather the storm until the holiday season, where they shine best. With the usual rise in holiday sales coupled with the strength of Wii Party, DKC, and Kirby, The Wii sales then will surely make up for any lost ground here. I predict a good 3.5 million consoles sold in November in the US, won't make it near 4.3 again but still solid regardless.
Releasing a new console now or even next year would be far too premature, as the Wii still has 2 or 3 good holiday seasons left in it. The Wii will still outlast the HD consoles, mark my words. Years from now, it'll be selling like the PS2 has been the past few years.
