Yes, it seems.
Wii is doing excelent. There's 10mill Wii at japane's homes and now continues selling so good, over 1mill and is up YoY on Japan. (2009 vs 2010)
Wii is selling extremely bad if we compare with 2008 and 2009? Of course. Its like ps3, now is selling extremely bad if we compare with the slim launch last year and see the YoY drop. And Wii without a redesign. =/

You have to factor in how it's the console leader and it's selling on par with the last place console this gen and is being beat by 2nd place. Something unprecedented. Claims Wii is selling bad arn't unfounded ...

Yes, because the Wii is doomed like every year and this is the ps3 year like the past 4 years...=/
Like I said before, when ps3/xbox360 sold over 73mill in 4 years without a redesign, and only one price cut, breaks the record for the fastest selling console and the record for more consoles in one month, and sell more than what wii is selling now, then and only then we can say Wii is doing bad.
Claims Wii is selling bad, and not count these factors... =/

The market leader should be able to combat those efforts easily, ala PS2. If Xbox or gamecube got redesigned it still would have got 60% plus of the market. It's no excuse using excuses! Market leader being last is BAD.

Did you honestly expect the Wii to sell strongly this year despite next to no third party support and no hardware movers for the first 9 months?
Just remember that 360 and even PS3 sales were beginning to decline and would be selling poorly as well if not for the redesigns.
People on this site tend to only judge success in terms of relative to competitors, and on a week to week basis, but if you take a step back and look at the grand scheme of things, Wii has outsold Nintendo's previous best selling console, the NES, on it's way to outsell the PS1, and is still tracking ahead of PS2, despite only one $50 price drop, no redesign, and barely any third party support.
Tell me, why is it so BAD for the market leader to be in last by a few hundred thousand for a couple of months, when it is 30 million ahead of its nearest competitor? It's not like third party support is going to decline, it's already about as bad as it can be. You are making a big deal out of nothing.
