I think the WIi is in trouble now. However only really in the sense that it is starting to displease shareholders. As a growth machine, things are looking a little down. Software sales are only fractionally higher than either PS3 or Xbox 360 and overall revenue will be smaller. I hate these words, but I guess most of the people who want a Wii or will want a Wii have either got one or decided against getting one.

That assumes there is some kind of ceiling. Not to mention EVERY YEAR of the Wii got that kind of comment. It's just dumb. All it proves is that right now the current crop is not as appealing, so more killer apps are needed.

I doubt that the Wii market will revitalise it doesn't look to be on the cards at all. Nintendo doesn't seem to think so either, especially given the fact they have lowered their expectations for Wii sales for financial year. I don't really see any major killer apps coming and I don't really see any price cuts coming either.

That just means this year, isn't performing well, not that it can't revitalize. They just chose games that weren't killer apps to be their mid year releases.

Revitalise on what exactly? The games they have coming after Wii Party are following up on the success of NSMB so therefore they won't have nearly the same hardware push as NSMB tapped the unfulfilled desire for a 2D Mario and a lot of the retro crowd. Im just not seeing it. Unless they cut the price again I don't believe we will see sales pick up once again and I certainly think that with only 87M units of software compared to 70M each for the PS3 and Xbox 360 that the software decline will reverse itself either.
