Pssh, we all know the huge Wii sales can't last. Sure the sales show no signs of stopping and sure it might even be increasing but it's so obvious that at some point in time, the sales rate will have a magical drop off. The slope of the drop will be so steep that it will be it becomes a mathematical impossibility and will be represent as a discontinuity across the graph line. We just have to keep on waiting for this point in time. It's coming. When? I don't know, but it's coming and all of these predictions will be ultimately be proven correct. That's my analysis.

 

There we go again. I can't tell if this is written as satire, or you are certifiably delusional. If serious there are a few problems with your analysis.First no one has identified anything that will abruptly reverse the Wii’s upward trend. GTA IV was supposed to but instead drove it to all time highs. The market saturation argument that suddenly demand will collapse is untenable. You see, the sign of collapsing demand is units sitting on the shelf, NOT people lined up in the parking lot waiting for the store to open.

Sales of anything don’t just suddenly and magically plummet, people are just not that organized.

And lastly, you are aware of the impossibility of sales predictions coming true if the predicted sales for 2012 have already been doubled in 2008. Even theoretically, the only possible scenario would be a massive buyback program by Nintendo. Yeah, that'll happen!  

 Knowing totalwar he's just being funny. It'll probably take a while for you sort who is being sarcastic and when, especially with people like Crazzyman who make and seem to stand-by similar insane predictions. There's so many elaborate and far-fetched "The Wii is Doomed" predictions out there it's easy to joke about it and have it taken seriously.
