DFC says Wii to be cause behind $57 billion gaming market in 2009

Hollywood, eat your heart out. It looks like gaming is lined up to be a big money enterprise come next year (as if it isn't already), according to analyst firm DFC Intelligence. David Cole, one of the firm's analysts, thinks that the driving force behind this sharp rise is none other than the Wii."The Wii does not appear to be a fad and it has the chance to be one of the best selling systems of all-time," said Cole. Another analyst, Jeremy Miller, is quick to point out that Nintendo is also a very successful publisher, stating "The Wii not only has unique features and a broad demographic appeal, but Nintendo is dominant as a software publisher." Despite Nintendo's winning formula that is the Wii, the firm sees the PS3 selling more than the Wii in 2012. We know of at least one entity that agrees.

ROFL at Iwata! "IT PRINTS MONEY!!!"
Seriously, only Nintendo could do something that awesome with a game console!!!
And after 5 minutes of watching it print out cash, why hasn't that thing run out of paper?
Nintendo really IS amazing!!!

Well if the PS3 is to overtake the Wii in 2012 does that mean we'll see Wii 2 during the holiday season in 2012?
