Now Do You Think Nintendo Will Reach 50% Market?

It'll probably reach it, but I don't think it will get 50% lifetime. Price cuts to the PS3/360 will sparks sales tremendously, especially for Sony's system. They just need to drop it to a price point that is acceptable to the masses and not the technophiles and hardcores. It'll probably end up with around 40-45%, I think.

Well, 360 already is in 199€, and the price still isn't "acceptable to the masses".
Blu Ray won over HD-DVD, so Sony really can't push PS3 price under the profitable standalone players (BDA and Sonys other divisions may have something to say, if they'd try).
Developer support is moving for Wii and as we know, this system makes itself happen; more games means more customers -> more customers means more games.

If Sony and M$ would like to fight with price, they would need a pricut and fast (149/299?), before Wii supply jumps up and even then their sales boost could beat Wii until the supply jumps up.
In a pricewar, Wii would have advantage over PS3 and 360.

All i'm saying is, that if they want to put up a fight, they need to do it fast. After a certain point in market share, it's irrelevant what M$ and Sony are going to do, since after that point, Wii is the console of choice for the publishers.
After all, it's only about how appealing the product is for the consumer, and as i said earlier, the consumers already are more willing to pay more for Wii, than they are for 360. Besides, to a certain (huge) group of potential customers, Wii is the only console that has appeal to them, so the only problem Nintendo is facing with this group, is to get them pay for what they play (and apparently, it's working).
