None of these next-gen systems will be the next "PS2".

the wii is not selling more than the ps2.

check your numbers, the ps2 boom was after the third year after 2002 they are a huge bumb in sales.

 

also all the third parties games are going ps3 or xbox360.

wii--> only nintendo love.

thats why its won't reign supreme like the ps2 did.

right now the market is split 54% ps3+xbox360 - 46% wii

 

nintendo have played all its card, wii sales are high due many exclusive made by nintendo throw in the first 2 years of release. wii fit, brawl, galaxy, mario kart, zelda.

that sadly won't hold it for more, i expect 2009 to be a year of third party remakes, and brawl 2 kart 2 and zelda tl 2.

with minor improvements :(

Did you look at the links I posted?  The Wii is currently ahead of the PS2 in all regions in the same point in it's lifespan.  Here's another link that show a long term view.

It looks to me like the Wii can continue to track ahead of the PS2 as long as Nintendo does a decent job of maintaining the current rate of sales.

Also, there will not be a Brawl 2 or a Kart 2 in the lifetime of the Wii.  Certainly not in 2009, especially since these games take years to make.
