We shall see.

I think the Wii has a fair chance of becoming the most popular system this generation. Its gimmicky and limited to a large degree, and its video hardware is not as powerful, but the Wii works just enough to leave people in a very interested state. The buzz and participation relating to the Wii right now is huge. Interest like that equals lots of purchases.

(And let's not forget the fact that Nintendo is basically making profits from the start as they always wisely seek to do. Looking at the current success of the 360, I'm guessing that it will probably just barely make it out of loss territory this generation considering how the original Xbox never even got that far in its entire lifetime. And, while the PS3 is looking like it probably won't be much of a success, I still want it to be successful enough to help BD out.)
