I don't think so. First, the Wii has expanded the audience beyond what it was last gen. Second, the MEAA market itself has grown a lot, and developing markets are more important than they used to. And third, there is more multiple console ownership than before, meaning the figure is probably below 77m. I am sure pricecuts will be coming soon for all consoles, and that will boost sales again. IMO EMEAA won't reach saturation point until 2014 or so.

So you see 2011 > 2010

and 2012 > 2011?

Hmmm... 2011 could be on par or slightly above 2010 if sales are high enough during xmas time after price cuts I guess. After that, yes, it's all downhill. It's just that I don't think it will go down that fast, and most of the decline comes from the Wii really. I just think that sales can mantain a good level for the next two years, close to 2010 levels.
