Honestly the first prediction would have been more laughable in 2007 than in 2010....
Nintendo did great this Gen and I don't really think they need to do anything. Yes, Wii sales are falling but I don't see PS3 or 360 ever catching up despite possibly being on the market longer. Wii should still be #1 by Gens end.
Nintendo should start preparing for their next System for release in Summer/Late 2012. They can keep Wii strong by releasing some games along the way but nothing "New" until their next System. They could also release something "New" for the Wii and try to get more sales and wait for their next System until Sony or Microsoft makes a move. Either way should work though option 1 is more possible.
Weren't these the same people that had wii sales being in the negatives by 2012?
something like, in 2011 they had like 80 million consoles and in 2012 they had 72 million.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

:D
On the subject: yes, sales have fallen but they seem to have reached it`s low level, for now. Xbox 360 is doing really well but just in the states thanks to Kinect. To me it`s selling on name alone by now. If MS doesn`t present great games for it, the hype will fade sooner than later and sales will reach quicker it`s normal levels as seen in the other 2 territories.
PS3 is doing really well in Europe and Japan, imo, because of the flow of great titles and, let`s face the new redesign and price point did make it more attractive - that`s why i got one :D
Wii has had what? Epic Mickey, Goldeneye, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Wii Party? That was in 2010. What has Wii had so far that was impressive? As Nintendo always says: content sells. Could Nintendo do better to fill the gap left by 3rd parties? Yes it could. Gives new 1st party games besides Kirby Epic Yarn - which seems to been failing in Europe, btw - and if not another crop of NPC games.
Wii`s brand strength might last this generation and help sales per se but if Nintendo doesn`t do anything BIG it`s image perception might suffer when Wii 2 arrives and that`s really something Nintendo should consider. Let`s just hope E3 brings a good amount of great games, leading up to Zelda.

Yeah... that's pretty funny. The PS3 won't even break 100 million. The Wii probably has one more year before they release a new console. Microsoft will most like release their new console in 2013, but will keep the XBox 360 on the market for another 2-3 years. No idea when Sony will launch another console. I doubt they will pull the PS3 since it's actually making money now, but I expect a lot of price cuts this year.
