The Game Cube was sold along with the Wii until Aug. 2011, before it was discontinued. So it just about lasted as long as the PS2. So that was about 5 years into the life of Wii. If we are lucky the Wii will continue to be sold with the Wii U for another 5 years.

What? Gamecube was discontinued in 2007 ...

At the rate Wii is falling (over 50% yoy most Quarters) I would expect a WW discontinuation to happen in early 2014, and early 2015 at the very latest.

I think he's talking about backwards compatability.  I'm guessing he's going to be adding the numbers together to make the Wii sales look better, not that they need to look better.

If we did that, the PS1 is the best selling console EVER (PS1 + PS2 + PS3 = ~340M) and will become the longest running console (19 years and going).    Of course, that's just ridiculous.
