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.

I do hope you're joking...
The 360 and the PS3 each outselling the Wii by about 50,000 units each week for a while won't make up for what happened in the first few years of the generation.
In fact at that rate it'd take about 13 years to close the gap (and that's just the 360, never mind the PS3)...
As well as they're both doing now, they're never going to sell like the Wii did at its peak, and that's the killer difference.
