Which means that they will need to keep sales at exactly the same level they have been at already constantly for 5 years....no way!!! Thats generally what the leading console for a generation does, Id post a graph comparing snes ps2 and ps1 (the last three leading consoles) but the graph thing doesnt seem to be working. Anyway the leading console generally seems to have a spike at launch then have a flat line of weekly sales interrupted by more spikes as events such as game releases and price cuts occur and only falter at the coming of the next gen.

Here is a graph:

The wii beats both ps and ps2 by far. The really surprising one, is it beats the DS too! (wii, ds, and ps2).

(The graphs are Japan+America. America only still have wii on top, but closer).
