I thought the Wii was selling at around the same rate as PS3/360... >_>
Were people expecting the sales to keep sky-rocketing into the heavens for all eternity? Never slowing down?
Nintendo will just squeeze the last drops out of it, like Sony did with the PS2, and move on to its successor.
Nintendo didn't try to cater to 3rd parties as well as they should have but the support is still better than it was in the GC days.
They just have to fix the mistakes they made for the successor.

So you think it's normal for a market leader to peak on it's 2nd year and sell quite a bit less every year after while the competition get's stronger and stronger with sales? Normally it's suppose to peak around the 4th year then have sales slowly going down while still killing the competition.
This is definitely a first, usually when we find a market leader it dominates the whole gen. The way things are looking in the end this gen could become a statistical tie between the Wii, PS3 and X360.

What market leading console has sold at the rate the Wii did? It sold at a faster rate than even the PS2.
What happened in pass generations don't necessarily apply to the Wii.
Most people who wanted a Wii would have one by now, and unlike the PS2, it doesn't break ever few years so many people would have through just one.
The PS3 is selling faster because it is cheaper now and has a great line up of games, 360 because of Kinect.
The Wii is starting to wind down while the HD consoles still have a few years ahead of them.
