I've been reading a lot of comments lately concerning who will come out on top once the 8th gen is over with, and there seems to be a general sense that most people think that Ninetndo is done for.
Why do you think this? The console's sales are drastically low right now, but this is Nintendo. A pokemon game? Mario Kart? Super Smash Bros!? When these titles and others like them begin to launch, does anyone believe the sales will remain at the level that they are at? For those of you counting out Nintendo from 1st, or even 2nd place for next gen, maybe you should step back, take a breath, and relax. Who would've thought that the Playstation wouldve destroyed the N64 like it did, or that the PS3 would recover from its situation in 06-08.
The generation is barely started, so before you count Nintendo out, remember that the PS4 and 720 are not even launched yet. Anything can happen. Have an open mind.
^_^ Don't be so garsh dang negative :P Especially when we have 6+ years left to this race!!!
(I realize telling the Forums not to be negative is like telling a toddler that they can't have a toy, but it feels like this needs to be said... At least for the rational among us!)

Let's just point out a few issues with your post:
1)The wii was an "in" item. A lot of sales of the wii were to casuals, and casuals do not look to upgrade until the next "in" item arrives. Right now, said items are smartphones and tablets.
2)The PS had a much better library of games than the N64, ranging from the likes of GTA to FF. This is a common story for core consoles - the console with the best library wins.
3)The PS3 has the advantage of bluray and has actually almost always sold more week-on-week compared to the 360. It was always just a matter of time.
4)The issue is the Wii U has yet to demonstrate itself as next-gen; it's currently kicking out similar quality titles to much cheaper, established consoles.
I really doubt the Wii U will manage to sell more then 24 million. In an era of multiplatform core games, the Wii U isn't offering any of that to a degree that beats the 360 or PS3.

You obviously thoroughly read the OP, but totally missed the point.

Tu quoque fallacy - care to actually give a proper response?

I don't think this means what you think it means and no, because if I believe you've missed the point, responding to you at any length would be doubly pointless.

My bad, it's just an ad hominem fallacy - instead of addressing the point, you just attack the commenter instead. And you've done it again. Good job. Now either address the point I originally made maturely and logically or don't bother replying.
