Dead? No.

Dying? Debatable.

It's gone from an expectation of 20 Million to 18 Million for the last FY to 13 Million this FY. It's in free fall. Nintendo are releasing next to nothing for it in the near future and the only real "huge" 3rd party title on the horizon is Dragon Quest X.

The recent quarter is the lowest it's ever had, and to compare it to the previous generation leader... It's lower than the PS2 has ever gone in a Quarter and it doesn't have the support from 3rd parties that the PS2 had after next-gen consoles were released.

IMO, it's dying.

I'm quoting myself, just incase you didn't see it on the 1st page.

In case you're reffering to my post: The year the PS2 Slim came out Sony sold more than 18 million PS2's if I remember correctly. So I would still expect the Wii to post lower numbers than the PS2 in any case.

Seeing Nintendo's own expectations are less than 15 million for this fiscal year I guess we won't see a slim model and most likely no serious support.

Edit: And in this case I expect it to perform even worse than Nintendo expects since their forecasts seem to be too high on pretty much everything recently.
