Isn't it alarming that the Wii had its worst year though, despite the biggest console game this gen (NSMB Wii). Monster Hunter 3, Black Wii, Pricecut, Tales of Graces, Wii Sports Resort/ Wii Fit Plus? I think the downward trend of Wii will continue, although it wont be too much lower. Of course though, if DQX releases... Plenty of crow coming my way.

Then though, what does Wii have confirmed in 2010?... I can name a whole bunch of moderately big games on PS3 in Q1/Q2 alone. Would like to know the Wii lineup if someone can help?

Well, the reason for that is the massive decline in the first half.  2nd half (ie: when all those factors you just listed actually came into play) Wii had a a generally flat or better performance than 2007 or 2008. 

And despite dropping massively, Wii's been narrowing the difference between it and PSP.  Last year they were nearly 800k apart, this year that's down to 300k.  Pretty notable, if Wii continues it's 2nd half turnaround and PSP continues it's general decline (which was consistent YOY bar a brief relief from the pricedrop), we'll see Wii overtake it for 2nd place next year.

Exactly... And that massive decline could very well happen again this year with the seeming lack of big SW releasing.

Look at 2007 sales where Wii outsold PSP by over 600k, and you will see how it isn't really surprising. But anyway, as i said... The difference between Wii and PS3 is of greater significance. Wii outsold PS3 by over 1.8 Million consoles in 2008. Wii outsold PS3 by 200k consoles in 2009.

The Slim released, a $100 price reduction, Tales of Vesperia, and Final Fantasy opened. Those are the major reasons the PS3 came somewhat close to the Wii.

You're kind of eschewing the facts there.

NSMBW came out to incredible sustained sales and has given the Wii both its best selling ever, and the best selling week ever of any home console. The Wii is also up YoY in the month of December. Considering the sheer magnitude of 2008's sales for the Wii, I think this is a highly significant indicator that the Wii is doing strong (especially considering that pundits predicted this would be the worst Christmas for the Wii).

I'll leave list wars for other people to take up.
