Just because YOU don't want it to reach 100 million, doesn't mean it won't.. As people have mentioned here, Nintendo still has room for another $50 price drop, not to mention there is still DQX, which will boost its sales heavilly in Japan, and let's not forget during the holidays each year, Wii should recieve a huge boost, well over enough to get it over the hump. It might take a couple of years, but to think it will NEVER sell another 5 million, when it has already sold 95 million in only 5 + years is downright foolish with no basis, and to me must only mean it is wishful thinking on the part of HD twin fans, who still can't get over the fact that Nintendo actually came in first this gen.

Wii got a price cut last year. Didn't really do much. Another one won't do much either especially with the Wii U on the market.
This holiday people will be buying Wii U not Wii.

Won't do much, but will definitly make an impact. Though in reality, Nintendo probably doesn't even NEED a pricecut to pass 100 million.
Anyway, PS one still sold after the PS2 launch, PS2 after the PS3 launch, GBA after the DS, DS after the 3DS, PSP after the Vita, you get the idea..Will sales slow down? Certainly. But it's pretty naive to assume that sales will suddenly come to a screeching halt once the console's predecessor is released. There will always be budget gamers looking to get a cheap console, especially one with the mass appeal of the Wii.
