So how is the Wii tracking compared to the PS2 within the same timeframe?

We only have a limited experience when it comes to game systems selling for spectacularly long lifetimes.  Meaning we are being too rigid by expecting a game console to sell over a 150 million only by taking a similar path that PS2 did.

Wii could very well sell not as well during it's first half (first 5 years during the gen. at the time) but then have a better second half (the last 5 years, selling once the next gen has already started).  It's hard to say.  Wii is such a different kind of machine than PS2, so the pattern should be expected to not be similar if anything.

Sorry but that's impossible.

I have to agree, it just ain't happening......

The Wii has 4 years left, and baring a huge price cut, sales will keep going down at 20% rate or more per year... ( things might actually go even faster in Japan, because once Zelda is out, and with the release of the 3DS, the Wii will be officially dead over there...).
