My point was that if the Wii being "dead" now is a sign of trouble for Nintendo, then where the hell were they in 2006? They came back from the 04-05-early06 slump spectacularly

2006 was the year that the DS shipped over 21 million units, plus the Wii actually came out that year.  2004 and 2005 still had very strong GBA sales even though the DS had been released, and I don't think Nintendo or investors will be happy with the Wii just doing better than the Gamecube.  2012 will probably be a better comparison to 2006.  The console successor will be out.  The old handheld will have started to wind down, and the new handheld will start to show its selling power.
