Well, "after 2009" is 2010, and that will be after four Christmas sales periods for the Wii. It's not big prediction to say a fifth year old system will have sales slowing down. I don't mean to sound rude, but all these anti-Wii forecasts are so silly. Nintendo is doing great, good for them! My fear, and I have a PS3 along with a Wii, is that the two graphic-power systems become more like NEO GEO's than eventual throne takers. That's MS and Sony's fault, not Nintendo's.
