The PS3 doesn't have the power to maintain even these sales unless it sees a $100 price drop every year. And the 360 is fast reaching its own market saturation. The Wii's limitation is production, the 360/PS3's limitation is appeal. Guess which has more promise?

Doubters and Skeptics alike, I'm sorry to inform you, the Wii will reach 50% market share.

If Nintendo produced 5 millions Wiis a week, would it sell 5 million Wiis a week?

No, the Wii's limitation is appeal, just like every other console ever made.

Montana... Seriously...

I hate to break it to you, but the Wii shows potential of being able to sell upwards of 500,000-1,000,000 units a week if not more given its current demand. 5,000,000 is just a ridiculous number to try and prove anything, though can assure that I would thoroughly laugh my ass my off should such a thing ever be proven possible.

The fact is Montana, the Wii has yet to reach the demand of the consumer, so it is arguable as to how many units it can sell a week, but what we do know is that its much more than it is now, and most likely, by a considerable amount. Sure you can say the Wii is limited by appeal, but if you have to use such a ridiculous number as 5,000,000 units to make that point, then what exactly are you proving? Not to be insultive, but a person would have to either be particularaly dense or surprisingly naive to think such an argument could hold water when the specific intent was more than crystal clear given the proximity of context. Did it not occur to you that perhaps I was speaking specifically abou the fat that the 360 and PS3 are readily available while the Wii has untapped potential lying solely in how many can be pushed out every week.

I can't say what motives lie behind your questionable interpretation of my earlier statement, though if arguing semantics and hyper literalism is your definition of mature and educated discussion then you'll forgive me if I don't concede to your standard of debate.

down to 44.1% as of today. Not the direction Wii fans want to see.

Yep, its over for Nintendo. Forgive me while I avert my eyes.

Where exactly you get 500k to 1 mill units/week.

Japan is steadily selling 50k a week and I don't see what could increase the sales there ( Wii Fit and SSBX are out).

Europe shows signs that the most the Wii will sell is 150k a week.

Gonna be hard to sell 300k to 800k a week in the US to make up for that..........

You Wii owners are going to have to start buying a new console every other week or it will never get there :P
