The YoY numbers are instructive. The Wii isn't especially weak right now, it's just that the 360 is remarkably strong and the PS3 ain't no slouch either. Since I suspect Nintendo cares more about absolute sales than relative sales (marketshare) I don't expect them to go out of their way to respond. What's more, they need to focus on the 3DS's big debut rather than fret about fighting the Wii's market saturation.
I really didn't expect the 360 redesign to draw this much attention. It just didn't seem as significant as the PS3's last redesign. I guess the 360 crowd gets really eager to buy the latest hardware, even if it doesn't do much more than the old.
