The reason this opinion on the Wii bubble bursting keep coming up is because the small minorities on ALL sides of an issue yell the loudest. The Wii fans are screaming that the wiivolution is here, get on board or be first against the firing range wall. The HD fans are yelling that anything less than 1080p is like watching paint dry and the Wiiwii is for kids.

The fact is, the other 95% of the population doesn't give a rats ass one way or the other. Those 95% are the people who buy stuff because it looks fun, or maybe buy it because it has killer graphics, but after they've made their purchase they don't care who else shares their likes and dislikes, because they have what they want.

Currently, in my opinion, that 95% is talking with their money and the Wii is currently in the spotlight. That same 95% won't ever read that guys editorial so don't realise that the bubble is going to burst because they didn't realise there was a bubble in the first place. That is why momentum builds until you have one market leader that tends to dominate the others each generation, because that 95% doesn't know anything about the state of the industry, all they know is that when they go to walmart there are 10 times as many games for this system, so it must be good.
