Another question, who still thinks wii will catch ps2 lifetime sales ?

I still think that if Nintendo wants, if it does what is needed to support its sales long enough, it can do it. It won't reach 50% anyway, and unless it receives enough big boosts, the sales it will reach will be lower than we previously thought. With last winter sales, sales supported to make them drop slower than it actually happend, and long enough lifecycle, 150-160M would have been easy, 180M would have required more effort, but not too hard, and 200M very hard but not impossible, now, if nothing changes enough and fast, 150M will be possible, but not easy, 180M very hard, more than that very, very, very hard.

I don't think wii can reach ps2 anymore because there's little Nintendo can do now to spur sales again, its only wild card left is the vitality sensor, and that i think, will probably be an idea that is only going to be fully implemented with wii´s successor

And that, is going to be wii´s biggest treat in the years to follow, its successor, because there  wont be a relation similar to PS2 and PS3 were one is way overpriced for the general public and the other is affordable, since that has never been Nintendo´s way of doing business, the wii successor will almost certainly be quite afordablee from the get go, thus nulifiing one of the major advantages wii would have over its younger brother. And with a new console out, Nintendo will focus all its efforts to make sure it has great games from the get go, and that way abandoning support for the Wii , and with no Nintendo games, and no 3party support wii will go down hill really fast
