IDK, I still think that its family friendlyness could boost it relatively higher than competitors for Xmas. BTW, here in Italy Ninty already started advertising its best sellers quite heavily both for DS and Wii (more for DS, though). I have the impression that my 5.9M prediction for this Xmas will be closer to actual sales than my 5M prediction for Xmas 2009.
Maybe there is a rational reason behind current Ninty strategy, they could have chosen to prioritize profit margin instead of revenues and sales numbers, to remain with enough cash even after funding 3DS development and launch, and there could be other reasons too, for example having more titles to launch later, to keep Wii alive in its late years, and they could have also considered that Move, Kinect, Halo: Reach and GT5 would have "stolen" the spotlight too much anyway this Autumn and Xmas, making Wii launches risk to be partially wasted if they were too many.
