You know the sales of a games console isn't and has never been directly correlated to power of it's graphics chip so by posters like jstall and Soldier37 should read up on their video game history then come back and post.
The downturn in turnover on the Nintendo Wii isn't a major surprise, all of the consoles have been effected (something that should have been mentioned in this article) by the recession (so much for the argument that the video game industry is recession proof). It's not like less people are buying Wii's and are buying 360's and PS3's instead, again just look at the numbers.
Nintendo will bounce back, their one of the video games industries 'great survivors'. Go Mario!
