considering the fact that Wii reached market saturation quite some time ago I very doubt that Nintendo is going to be in dire straits any time soon. Plus the 3DS will probably pick up the slack in a big way.

Market saturation is NOT selling a lot of systems.

That terms means something like 50% of all households or more. NO SINGLE GAME SYSTEM has done that.

It's called being euphemistic, I am well aware of what the term actually means. My point is that it appears that everyone who wants a Wii already has one so of course sales are going to dip especially since it sold at a break-neck pace unlike its closest competitors who still aren't within spitting distance of Nintendo when it comes to units sold. Even if the Wii has reached its saturation point then it hardly matters to Nintendo as they'll have the 3DS post-holiday anyway.

Sorry. I read so many posts insisting that actually happened (usually to try to justify why the system will magically stop selling), I assumed it was one of those.
