I honestly believe that the videogame industry is fairly recession resistant to a point. Parents will usually do whatever they can to provide for their children. So far there have been no signs that the problems with the economy are significantly slowing console sales, i mean everything is up year on year, including software. What evidence is there that demand has dropped significantly?
"2.Market Saturation / plateauing demand."
I really dont think that we have reached anywhere near market saturation with the Wii yet, and again ive seen no evidence that suggests demand is dropping. Reggie said in the article below your post that supply probably wont meet demand this holiday period, and if there's going to be 1.5million Wii's on shelves, the vast majority will sell. If as you suggest sales are only 1.2million then 300,000 will still be sitting on shelves, highly unlikely i believe.
