Well it all depends on this holiday I guess. It's not safe to do such doom predictions anymore since holidays last year on the USA.

In my humble opinion, Wii is following the GBA path having very strong early years and then suddenly dropping out of the spotlights. In a grander scale, of course, but it has no impending successor as an excuse. Looking how things are happening right now, the same is happening to the DS (in it's own scale, mind you) so maybe is just the way Nintendo platforms behave nowadays.

By the way, this generation is way more balanced already. It is not hard to compare and see:

Worldwide hardware 31st July 2004 -

PS2 212,627 (-14%) 69,924,823
XB 77,611 ( 1%) 15,477,692
GC 51,029 (-2%)

15,075,239

Worldwide hardware 31st July 2010 -

X360 195,120 (-12%) 41,710,061
PS3 151,976 ( 24%) 36,327,839
Wii 149,898 (-0%) 73,027,003


I love how this is the most balance generation. I hope people remembered that the PS2 came out a year before the other systems. So people got PS2s, and nothing else. Also at that time Sony had major  exclusive titles that keep the other consoles from gaining ground. Unlike now where the Wii was the last system on the market yet it's 30 million ahead. So The Wii is controlling this generation as much as the PS2 was. The Wii has still out sold both systems every month this year expect for last month. After Microsoft did another of their please buy our systems price cuts. The Wii has still outsold the PS3 in Japan so far this year. Even with the improve amount of games the PS3 has been getting. So in other words make this thread again in Jan of 11. If Kinect, Move, or a new price cut. Helps the 360 or PS3 to out sale the Wii for more than 3 to 4 months. Then the Wii will really have a problem.



 

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!
