The Wii is not dead or dying.

Bull. You're claiming it's doing better than ever, so projecting your bias on me.

@Mummelmann, yeah, I admit that was a bad thread title. Still doesn't excuse trying to manipulate sales during a software slump into a definite future for the system.

It is doing better than ever.

        2006   2007   2008   2009   2010

Wii   2.93   16.39   24.36 21.44  18.07

PS3   1.25   7.70    9.92   13.02  14.45

Do I need to draw a curve that shows where the Wii peaks in 2008 and then declines in 2009 through 2010 and then misses its hardware projection for Q1 2011?

Or draw a curve that shows the PS3 continue a rising curve through 2010 or would that be "projecting bias" on you?

The Wii will be lucky to match sales with the PS3 in 2011. Even with the typical holiday boost that has traditionally meant better sales for Nintendo than MS or SCE, I'm betting that this year it won't.

It was your line that my bring up the PR mess was somehow wishful thinking for it to fail, thus projecting a bias on me.

And again, I did NOT define "dying" that way in the OP, thus showing you are just trying to argue your definition, not what the thread is actually about.
