Are Wii sales slowing?

The main thing is, people who've owned the wii since launch are bored out of their minds with it at this point. They realise a flick of the wrist = pressing the A button, and its not as fun. But i digress, i hope sony brings out something similar, 1080p is where its at.

The lack of HD gaming and Dolby Digital is what turned me off from the Wii. I agree with you blitz... at least give me 720p, 480p just doesn't cut it. Even if they raised the price to about $299-$349, I probably still would have purchased one just because it was in HD. Maybe they should have tried the Sony and Microsoft approach and release two different configurations. One that is 480p and another that is 720p. Release a small amount of the lower config and make everyone see the value in the higher priced one. I can't remember the last time I saw a 20gb PS3 on the shelf, Sony was smart, they put out the 20gb units to say they have a console/Blu-ray player at $500, but only the 60gb units are really on the shelves.
