Please consider this when making an assumption in Console Sales, In the next 12 months United States will set a record on Kids turning 9 and 10 year olds, due to the fast increase in population United States is seeing, there are more 8-9-10 year old kids in that Country than ever before, many of these familes will not throw out $300 dollars for a HD/Blue ray/Gaming Console, but a Wii which is a lot more kid friendly for $199 plus 2 "so called " games, wii seems like a pretty good deal, I mean look at how the Wii just blew up on the charts after Black Friday, add the new Zelda and some cool gold wii version I think the Wii will beat the other 2 not by much but it will, besides if the 3ds does good, Nintendo could afford a price cut, never understimate the power kids have over parents.
