Someone... lol

I think there is also ''someone'' that predicted the end of the world for 2012, would you also feel the need to post the reasons why it won't happens?

@darth

Last december Wii was still outselling PS3 X360 combined so it was totally justified to think Wii would eventually reach 50%.

ugh you were saying talking about stuff from years ago is silly...so I just pointed out people say that even now...so someone should make up their mind before saying stuff..darth said what he said because he knows people STILL talk about it....so I predict someone is running their mouths but have no idea what they are going on about

for reference, read a few posts above yours, there is another 'someone' who said the same

Wii fans are getting hostile. I'm hoping the PS3/360 outsell the Wii again next week, not enough entertaining 20 page threads on this site.

Oh, I agree with this. The Wii may have some major trouble in EMEAA if the holiday lineup doesn't improve, because if nostalgia games like NSMB Wii don't work well there, the major games this holiday - DKC, Kirby, Goldeneye, or NBA Jam probably won't either. I find it kind of strange, since the DS games (NSMB DS) were hits there, but I guess it doesn't carry over...

For the ones arguing above, I still think it's possible for the Wii to reach 50% (though increasingly unlikely, not impossible). It's tough to predict what will happen in the next 2-3 years, such as successors, continued support, or how quickly the consoles decline, all of which will factor heavily into the final totals. They're only 4-5 years old so far, you know?
(There, you have your crazy guy. Though not that crazy IMO...)

A little uplift for Sony and MS

Next holidays the Wii sales will be far above PS3 Xbox360.

The Wii even didn't have a significant price cut.

It will be interesting to see 360 Arcade Slim sales next week.

Software sales YOY:

WOW @ PS3!

I don't think wii can reach ps2 anymore because there's little Nintendo can do now to spur sales again, its only wild card left is the vitality sensor, and that i think, will probably be an idea that is only going to be fully implemented with wii´s successor

And that, is going to be wii´s biggest treat in the years to follow, its successor, because there  wont be a relation similar to PS2 and PS3 were one is way overpriced for the general public and the other is affordable, since that has never been Nintendo´s way of doing business, the wii successor will almost certainly be quite afordablee from the get go, thus nulifiing one of the major advantages wii would have over its younger brother. And with a new console out, Nintendo will focus all its efforts to make sure it has great games from the get go, and that way abandoning support for the Wii , and with no Nintendo games, and no 3party support wii will go down hill really fast

Nintendo has less big moves left, true, and I agree that Vitality could be disappointing, but with at least two price cuts available, possibly bundling Balance Board too during the last years, and an even modest boost given by VS, a 8 years lifecycle, with its last 2 years after Wii2 release (most likely to happen in 2012 according to many), is possible, if only Nintendo wants it. Do your maths, with 4 more years after next Xmas 150M is within Wii's reach. Easily, though, doesn't mean without doing anything, sales numbers won't fall from sky without Nintendo doing anything, easily means that to reach this goal Nintendo has moves available but it must be willing to play them. For sales even higher, though, a total commitment and the hardest work by Nintendo would be needed, and here applies what you say, so I agree with you that having to concentrate its efforts on the new HW, better results than 150-160M would be from very hard to nearly impossible.
