The Wii came out in 2006.

*ahem*

4 and a half years

6 years if the Wii2 releases in 2012, as is predicted. I don't think we'll see much of anything at E3 TBH. If we do only a vague hint of something, not a full-blown reveal like the 3DS last year...

i'm not going to argue for or against the fad argument. but the fact is wii sales didn't just start droping, they've been dropping since 2007.

True, but not at a substantial rate. They were more flat really, up until the second half of last year...

I doubt the Wii will fall below 10mil per year for a VEEEEEEEEEEEERY long time. The Wii will soon replace the PS2 as the budget console, and supporters of the PS2 will migrate to Wii when it hits $99 (I believe it's around £60 around here).

When this has been done, expect the Wii sales to hold steady for a couple years, regularly outselling the Wii2, akin to that of the PS2/3. The budget price will also attract PS360 owners of this gen and give them a secondary console, so why move to the Wii2? Unless something amazing happens, I doubt we'll be dropping for much longer.

 

Also, will someone actually post a prediction? Or did you all just visit this thread for the lulz
