Wii is trending to be a much larger software market than DS, even if you exclude bundled software its ahead by 15% over the same period. So Nintendo cares - they like $$ - and DS is already a 750 million unit * $30 (or so) software market over six years. I'm thinking DS gets to 900m-1.05b games shipped, while Wii gets to 1b to 1.2b games shipped. You can say that PS2 got to 1.55b or so, but Sony never had two sw markets of a billion units each overlapping in the way Nintendo does / has recently.

You're ignoring the fact that the Wii will most probably decline at a faster rate than usual for consoles.

 

1) read the name of the person to whom you are responding, and if you absolutely must disagree with theSource, please please please have something to back up your point.

3) The Wii still has Zelda and Dragon Quest, infact, even only including announced games, the Wii has about as many big games coming up as the PS2 did after the same time in its life.

4) Yes, the Wii will likely be replaced in 2012, so will the 360 and more than likely the PS3 too, although that may see a delay to Q1 2013. 

5) recently the PS360 have seen a variety of things that temporarily increase sales, such as price cuts, new models and large degrees of bundling.
