Reasons why Nintendomination is still on an upwards trajectory:

1. SSBB and MKWii + Online = Teh Win.
2. Still no WiiDogs announced. Does anyone doubt that will be a huge release?
3. Most 2007 3rd party titles were second rate, rushed affairs. Zack and Wiki, Trauma Center 2, and MOH2 proved that given time third parties can figure out the WiiMote and make decent (and varied) titles for the Wii. With most developers coming around to the Wii only in early-mid 2007, we have every reason to believe their best efforts will be landing in late 2008-2009.
4. Mario + Sonic = $$$$. These two have only just begun.
5. Neither the 360 nor the PS3 currently seems able to get past the other. There is a good chance that the two will stay deadlocked for the next 1-3 years, which will allow the Wii to continue to move higher.
6. Many Nintendo franchises remain untapped - Donkey Kong, FZero, Luigi, Icarus, Mario Sports, etc.
7. We had Zelda, Metroid, Mario all in Year One. Does anyone think these won't have some sequels? (and don't forget WiiSports 2)
8. What? Still no DS connectivity? You know that's coming, and Nintendo can use the DS's rediculous success to shore up Wii support.
9. Nintendo remains the only one of the 3 current gen systems to not have a price drop. IT also is the only one that never needed one, despite the fact that they could have shaved $50 off the price without going into the red. The second that Wii supply exceeds Wii demand, expect a flood of new Wii colors, along with a price drop that'll make the competition weep.
10. The X Factor - nothing breeds success like success. As with the PS1 and PS2, Nintendo's early lead will result in a positive feedback loop as players attract developers that attract still more players.
