No, people are just obviously pointing out how the Wii isn't doing very well at the moment compared to past times, no one is sayin it's doomed. |
"Is 360 becoming the New Wii? 
i think so after kinect is out.."
"I honestly think there is a chance of the 360 outselling the Wii in NA this holiday."
"According to my predictions at least, I expect both the 360 and PS3 to outsell the Wii this holiday :)"
etc.
This is what I consider "doomed," claiming "nobody is saying it's doomed" is either disingenuous, or you have a different definition than I do, and I'd like for you to share it if possible.
If you're wondering just why the above implicates this, just look at the numbers. None of the quotes are possible without some insane declines by the Wii (bigger than currently), mixed with some crazy gains by the 360 (or PS3 in a few cases).
Since the Wii has already been seeing declines, one only needs to be a little more pessimistic than the rest to push opinion into "doom" territory. Whereas, one may need to be a bit more optimistic than usual to proclaim it'll "do just fine." If console performance opinions can be put into a graph:
|--doomed--|--trouble--|---not bad---|---fine---|----> (better)
I'd say the average opinion right now is on trouble, which makes "doomed" not so far off, right?
