No
I dont think so. For one.. we know this:-
Wii YoY sales are slowing down, not massively, but they are.
Price cut wouldnt affect sales that much. the wii outsells the arcade.despite the huge price difference. enuff said.
Most major ninty franchises are out- SMG, Brawl,kart,zelda,metroid,fit,WSR. Sure we have SMG2, newer zelda and metroid but thats bout it
PS3 slim
Second wave of 360 price cuts/ natal/ 360 slim possibility/ps3 eyetoy
The wii hardware is not as advanced as the PS2 hardware was at launch.. and will prolly require a refresh much sooner.
Outsell the PS2.. I DONT THINK SO..it will hover within arms reach though
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:
a. a AAA 3D sonic title
b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"
c. redesgined PS controller
d. SEGA back in the console business
e. M$ out of the OS business
I would say it has a very good chance. Nintendo has yet to cut the price, introduce colors, or create an updated model. Also, upcoming games like Wii Fit + are guaranteed to get a spot on shows like Oprah, and many News stations. Plus, Wii will probably continue selling like the PS2 does now waay into the next gen especially when Nintendo slashes the price to around $100.

doubt it
I am a loyal SONY fan and will always be.
I am also a PS1, PS2, PS3 and a PSP owner.

Its funny how ppl say Wii is down YoY yet as drastically 'low' Wii sales are, it is still going to sell more this year than PS2 did in its best year. 3 yrs in and Wii hasn't received ANY price cut whats so ever, it is almost wishful thinking to believe it wont.
But these same ppl want to say the PS3 has a shot at 70-80m? LOL.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
Maybe . Thats because market is growing. It would never reach PS2 marketshare. Wii only has about 50% while PS2 has 70%. The truth is Wii is not directly compete with X360/PS3. Unlike PS2 it almost same as Xbox and Gamecube in terms of graphic and game.

It shipped 22m or so in 03, the year it received its price cut. I remember The Source doing an article and mentioning it, and it stuck with me ever since lol.
