Hmm preview says 18-30k range for Wii and 15-20 for PS3 if it is as accurate as ever we might be looking at 20k wiis to 18-19k ps3 sold.

Wii will keep ahead of the PS3 till the end of the year. I dont think that Move will be bigger than Mario Collection, even with new colors... And GT5... i still doubt that the game will be released this year.

A console Pokemon, and I mean a real Pokemon not a spin-off, would solve all of Wii's problems.

I dunno, I think it'd kinda turn out like console Monster Hunter, or console Animal Crossing... the games are just better suited to handheld play, and thus sell dramatically better there.

I think a "real" Pokemon for Wii would probably top out around just 2m-2.5m.  It'd "help" for sure, but I don't think it'd be able to turn things around on it's own.  And really, Wii's issue isn't the big sellers (Nintendo has that more than covered), it's the medium and lower tier filler from 3rd parties that's missing and ultimately dragging the system down.  And worse, bringing that content now probably wouldn't even save Wii, the console really needed that content back in 2007 (when PS360 were getting it instead)...

I guess another MH and DQX will help the wii. The PSP was similar, with far few releases, and only saved by MH. However unlike the wii, the PSP actually has had alot of steady 200k releases after that. I cant see 3rd parties turning round the wii after DQX though since it will be at the end of its cycle. Saddening
