as the price for these consoles goes down, sales will increase per week. No way Wii is staying in the 60 mil. range for this gen.

I don't agree, the past trends have been that sales go down and then a price cut returns them to where they were... except during the holidays.

Except that in most places, they can't keep Wiis on the shelf for more than a couple of hours, so when produciton is fixed, we have no idea how much they'll start selling.

 

So, where is this '2-3 more years' coming from? The oldest console right now is just over 2 years old. This gen is lasting from 6-10 years.

 good point, I think there is a 10% chance we will see a new XBOX out by Xmas 10 (really depends on how 360 sells), but other than that I can't imagine Sony putting a new console out til at least 2013, which is more like 260 weeks away.  Nintendo won't be putting out a new console either for quite a while (2013 at the earliest).
