Not meaning to protect the Wii or anything...but aren't some people calling doom after 1 week a bit... premature? We saw what happened last year. And the Wii is in its 5th year. When you've sold over 85 million units in little over 4 years, you expect there to be some slowdown, especially when your competitors are riding the back of new games and add-on releases


What happened last year? Wii now sells well just during the holidays, we know, but even outselling 360 and ps3 in December will mean nothing if it is outsold by them all the rest of the year, and right now, with price cut possible for everyone and no big games for Wii, how could it possibly prevent this? I expect Nintendo to cut for the 4th consecutive time their predictions on Wii hardware, 15m for the whole year, very scary considering the original prediction was 20m.

Last year? All of the consoles were very close up until Christmas, where it well and truly thrashed the competition...

This year will no doubt be the same, all close throughout the year, but the holiday season will be Nintendo's

-50k from the leader in sales is not very close up. This year looks very different to last year.
