US - Has the Wii reached its zenith of potential against the combined forces of Microsoft's 360 and Sony's PS3? Or is this just another lull in the cycle similar to the summer of 2007?

Will the Wii eventually pass both of them combined in the US or has it run out of time? As always, we'll know just a little more next month.

I think so i mean just look at the graphs above the promblem with the Wii is that it should of spaced out its top selling games there doesnt seem to be much left while the ps3 and even 360 are just getteing started with releasing some of there top selling games

Wii is a fad confirmed!!!!!!!!! We can finally start the parties {think AIDS becoming officially funny in South Park}

Anyway, it certainly does appear that way, and with big games coming out this Christmas on PS360 (mainly PS3), it remains to be seen what Nintendo are going to do

When you think about it, the onslaught stalled last summer as well. So I think it's a seasonal matter.

Same goes for the drop in PS3/360 sales.

Considering the Wii has maintained market share without much in the way of software.

It should be interesting to see what happens as more new games come out in the next year.

I'm lost didn't it outsell the PS3+ Xbox360 this week again in the US?

I think it's a temporary lull...with EA Sports Active, the very well reviewed Punch-Out!!! and Boom Blox Bash Party coming just this week I think it will start to pick up again for the summer. Plus you have the new Tiger Woods that will be coming, Wii Sports Resort, etc. I think it's just a lull for a couple of weeks, same as why PS360 is so low too...

VGC says the Wii is still outselling PS3 and 360 combined in America. So the rise in market share is still ongoing.

As the Wiis current market share per week is approaching its overall market share of course there will be less in the way of movement to encroach on the HD console 'lead'.

Even if you don't believe VGC numbers the most recent NPD sales show this as well. You'd think the OP would check the sales data on a sales site before posting easily disproved assertions like this one.

Just by looking at today's marketshare numbers, the Wii actually gained a .1% increase in the market over the weekend. I think that says enough to answer the question. If it is still gaining, albeit slowly, it hasn't stalled.
