If that's the case, then Microsoft needs to release a new Xbox because those sales have been decreasing. Sony should have released PS4 right after PS3 was released because those sales weren't good.
For **** sake the Wii was released in 2006, it's only natural for sales to decrease. And it's not like their best Holiday season wasn't 2009 or anything.

It's michael pachter dude, he isn't meant to be taken seriously :)

I wish this would happen so I could give my Wii with its ugly games to my nephew who loves it way more than me. Than I could buy Nintendo games that are actually eye candy and not just barely acceptable.

I actually think Pachter is working for Nintendo, no one this gen has created as much buzz around them as he has!

Most of that 70 million that the poster asserts stuck with Nintendo is composed of people that really don't give a darn about traditional or core games on Wii and are only interested in the system for things like Wii Fit and Jillian Michaels Fitness Coach while much better games on the system like No More Heroes, Okami, Fragile Dreams, and Muramasa or even Nintendo's own core games on the system go on to languar in a great deal of obscurity in comparison to the likes of Wii Fit, etc, which most third parties are more interested in making clones of on Wii than true hard core rpgs and the like since those things are really the only third party games that ever really go on to sell more than a couple of million units on Wii.

Also, Miyamoto himself said in an interview regarding the prospects of a Wii HD in 2008 that he thought that both graphics and keeping up with technology were important endeavors.

You can't compare Gamecube third party support to Wii, because Gamecube was in third place.  That was the reason for Gamecube getting shafted, becuase if someone was making a multiplatform game last generation, and budget was tight, the logical place to cut was a GCN port.  There were not enough people that had the system, and those that had it mostly bought it for first party games.  The Wii is a market leader, and its third party support should be compared to PS1 and PS2.  And when you do, you can see that it's pathetic.  There are multiple often well documented reasons for this, and Nintendo hate is not one of them.  The last time Nintendo had a market leading and powerful system in SNES, it got plenty of third party support.

wow that show is putting me to sleep.. its very un-original also lol

Yea that's what I was going to say.  It's enough to make a bold prediction, but to state things incorrectly is damnable.  Even worse, the 205 million software sold in the fiscal year before last was on more hardware, not less. 

No, Patcher, you're hurting our ears.

The Gamecube had better core third party support than the Wii has had so far. Almost every major third party multiplatform game of that gen, except for GTA, appeared on Gamecube.
