I just think the viral effect for Wii will wear off soonish. Eventually, those who bought it will realise they don't use it enough. And there's no real 'killer app' from Nintendo until Wii Sports Resort, and it remains to be seen whether that will sell for £40 to those who enjoyed the (free) original. I can't see Wii Music being a big success (though I personally think I'll enjoy it a lot). We’ll see, I guess. I just think the viral effect for Wii will wear off soonish.

It's showing no signs of movement yet. It could be years. By that point, the Wii will be so far ahead it'll basically be all over. In fact it might be all over already.

The Wii sold to a completely new type of customer that wouldn't buy a 360/PS3 if they cost £50. I don’t think so, tbh.

PS3 hasn't reached the sweet spot price yet. Once it comes down a bit further, and the viral success of Wii wears off (I think it'll take a while longer, but I do think it'll happen), PS3 will start to outsell Wii - though it'll be a while before it catches up to Wii's impressive LTD sales.
