[QUOTE="Out_Kast3000"]Wii sales won't stop magically, but they will see sharp decline.
LOL. The Wii is not like the PS2 or PS1.
The PS1 and PS2 were weaker than the N64/GC?XBOX, but they were powerful enough to keep up with them, and even put out games that looked better. Not to mention the PS2/PS1 had by far the best libraries.
Wii sales will slow. It's weakness internally will catch up with it, not to mention it's lineup isn't going to be strong like the PS3's next year even with a couple AAA titles(SSBB).
It will still outsell the XBOX 360, but when it's all said and done it will be behind the PS3.

How is the PS3 which stands at around 6mil consoles worldwide surpass a console that is at 14mil+. Is the Wii going to magically stop selling? People who hate the Wii has been saying its a fad since it came out and that in xxx amount of time people will realize this. But you have to take into consideration that this hasn't happen and that the Wii has been a freight train without its AAA games. People don't buy consoles for next years lineup they buy consoles for the game library it has. Even when PS3 gets next years titles its library will still pale in comparision to the Wii and 360.
And to note, PS1 and PS2 both didn't start with a good library of games. It was over time. Wii's first year looks about the same as PS2 and better than PS1.
The Fact is, the Wii's 2nd year is going to be just like it's first. It's going to have 2 or 3 killer Apps from Nintendo(SSBB, Mario Kart Wii) and mostly crappy third party titles. 3rd Party support hasn't changed much. They've gotten more 3rd party support, but devs still just see it as a way to get make cheap medicore games and profit off that.
The PS1 and PS2 still had potential for later years. They had basically all the 3rd part support in their gens. The Wii is not going to have those things. It's too underpowered and that's why most devs are still putting their big games on the PS3.
