The Wii will definately last more than two more years, it has enough consoles sold for that. Remember its sold 70M which is only behind the PS1 and PS2 at this point in time. Further to that, if and when they release a new console it'll probably not be over $249 and definately not over $299 and it will be more powerful than the PS3, that much is certain at this point given a minimum release date of 2011.

What I was trying to say was that it wouldn't last two more years as the leading console(weekly sales).

I am sure it will continue selling well after two years, but not enough to be the leading console(weekly sales).

And if we align the consoles at launch the Wii is selling better than PS2, but it doesn't have the software support to continue selling after its successor launch like the PS2 had.

But its just my opinion, i can be wrong, and i would like to be wrong.

The other two consoles will decline alongside them as well. The generation is reaching saturation at this point, the software sales overall are falling so all consoles ought to fall soon after if you go by what The Source has said in his market analysis pieces. I don't believe the Wii has done selling just yet, its just that given the market it sells to IMO its probably suffering from the recession the most as the wider market has cut back on discretionary spending.
