The Wii is not dead or dying.

If Wii is dying, so is Xbox 360. It has sold significantly less units than Wii, and even now Wii still keeps pace with it.

what a silly thing to say... 

Here are current trends (11 weeks or so of sales) compared to same period last year:  (HINT... only one console is growing)

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Feb 2010 to 24th Apr 2010:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360
Total	2,904,888	2,519,344	1,681,308

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Feb 2011 to 23rd Apr 2011:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360
Total	1,686,497	2,199,944	1,880,029

And you point is?... wii is lower than last year, so the PS3 is... So base on that wii & ps3 are both dying, and the only not "dying" console is selling less than a dying console?, I am confused now...

 OP, The wii is been lowering its sales since 2008 (it was dead on arrival and it has dying since day1, if I remember correctly) the wii is going to continue selling well, the 360/ps3 may sell 3 or more millions more than the wii this year, but the wii will remain still ahead by more than 30 millions, and even with café around the corner just dance3, zumba2, michael jackson 2 and wiimotionplay, zelda, DQX and some others, will keep the wii selling millions for a few more years... The wii is dying yes, nintendo is reducing their efforts on the system, yes, they have to focus on the 3ds and Café, but even with that the wii will end 1st this gen, sales and game wise (IMO for this one)...

Just my point was they need to keep it alive longer.
