It's funny to me how so many people are so surprised at the Wii's resurgence during the holidays. Nintendo consoles always excell during the holidays, as parents are looking for gifts for their children. Being a member of a vg sales site, you'd think more would be aware of this. Even the miserable selling gamecube performed strongly during the holidays, at least in the US.

Plus, there is the bombshell of DKC that are likely lifting Wii sales before its launch as well as the continued strength of NSMB. DKC is going to reignite hype for the Wii more than most people here think.

Were you not proclaiming 3rd partys killed Wii a little while ago 0_o

Wha? i never said third parties have "killed the Wii." I might have said they were killing the Wii prematurely, meaning they were choking it of potential extended life. But in the short term at least, Wii should still sell very strongly during the holiday season, as long as Nintendo releases games like DKC that appeal to a massive audience. With massive PS2 type of support, I think the Wii could have sold strongly for 10 years, but since it does not have it, Nintendo will probably be forced to release another console in 2012.

I never said that Wii would falter during this holiday season, but feel free to call me on a post of mine that may have contradicted this statement if you can find one.
